I have kinda been through the whole stage you have Harald, even the part about moving to a new house and having to play with temps. The house I just moved from held temps a lot better, so flex watt was the only thing I needed for a hot spot. Once I moved to this new place, temps were much different. I really like these heat panels, especially for my females. When I had only belly heat, they would never really bask on the flex watt unless gravid. Since I have switched out the flex watt for heat panels, they are now basking much more under the panel. In my snake room right now, my ambient temp is 72 degrees, yet my cool side in my female boas cage is 80 and the hot side is at 92. I have a hide box (modified litter box) in each of there cages, BOTH females pushed the hide over to the warm side so they could get on top of it. Most often there body temps were around 82, I have noticed lately with the panels they are averaging 84-86 body temps.
