RHP help!!!

Newtot · 01-27-21, 05:44 AM

Yall i am so confused!!!!! I have a diy enclosure for my boa. I got the rhp from pro products, they said it would work fine with my thermostat. Anyhow. I had the probe set mid way down the wall under the panel. Set it to 90, the thermostat stays on constantly and is only getting to 85. What im i doing wrong? The thermostat works because i used it on her other cage for a heat mat. Im thinking i may need to switch it out for the exo terra pulse proportional one i have instead.

Also the thermostat is rated for 1000 watscand the rhp is only 60

If it's on constantly and isn't getting warm enough, offhand I'd say that you need a higher wattage panel.
What happens when you set the thermostat for 95?

Well i think i finally figured it out. Pro products recommend this size panel for my enclosure and home temps. I switched out to a different thermostat. set the temp to 83 on the cool side and so thats putting my hot side temps at 84 or so on the ground and a basking spot of 90. Cool sode is measuring 82. This is how i was told to set it up. I know the panel is big enough bc we plugged it in without a thermostat with no boa inside and it got real hot in there lol
