I've seen several pictures of flexwatt used inside of enclosures as heat source. Has anyone done this? I'm running a room of background temp of 70-80 degrees. Is this just making a hot spot to lay on or does it raise the ambient temp as well enough for red tail boas? I'd rout a depression for it to sit in and cover it with tile/plexi/something. I'd prefer to heat 2 new cages for $10 rather than $200 for RHPs
Or would you need an additional heat source to bring the background temp up in which case I'd just go with a RHP over this.
