Hi all ive got a Ap 8x3x2 coming in that i cant convince myself on how to best heat it. my house is usually in the 60s-70s in the winter so im concerned about the large cage with a small rhp and my snake not able to properly thermo-regulate
currently i have an 80w rhp that is 12x22.5 that has done an awesome job of heating my current cage. my issue is i do not think it will be able to handle heating this new cage. so my thought is to run 2 side by side rows of11in flexwatt under half the cage with the rhp centered over that half and link all that into my single thermotstat.
thermostat is a hydrofarm rated to 1000w
rhp is 80w
total flexwatt would be 8ft(2 rows of 4ft) @ 20w a foot 160ws
so total is about 320w at full power far below the thermostats limit. but is it safe/ok to have the rhp and flex watt on the single prob?
I will be using a combo of soil/clay and wood chips as substrate with large slate rocks that hold heat really well.
o yea and this is for my jamp retic
what do you think? opinions welcomed
