Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

HEAT PANELS
For about 15 yers or so I've used heat panels from Reptile Basics along with Herpstat thermostats. I must have around 20 panels paired with those thermostats. Loved them, never had a problem so I continued to use nothing but RB panels.
Apparently that has to change now since Reptile Basics has either sold to other owners or having other problems as they have not had heat panels in stock for months.
I've remodeled some cages and was planning to move some snakes into the new cages in the fall ... but that plan is now fallen way behind because of the heat panels being unavailable.
Can anyone refer me to another reputable supplier / manufacturer of radiant heat panels they've used and trusted .... and are currently available ?
These panels have me spoiled rotten so returning to bulbs isn't an option
Thanks

I have a handful of RB panels, and I got a Pro Heat panel about a year and a half ago to try it -- I like it. Works well, no problems. I will likely buy another if I set up more caging. After using RB thermostats for a few years, I was...uh...not exactly brand-loyal, so the switch was easy.
Cons: They are white in color; to order, you need to contact Bob and tell him cage size and temps needed, and he recommends a size (PITA); they are slightly more expensive than RB (75w 12 x 18 was $105 + $17 shipping last year).
Pros: they are made in US; they are in stock.

The very first panels I looked at were Bob's and the problem was that he asked more information from you than if you were trying to adopt a child. I ended up finding RB and bought from them for the last 20 years without a problem until now. Did they sell the business ??
Never used RB's thermostats , always went with Herpstat and love them.
Thanks for the info ... I'll contact Eric and see what he has.
Thanks again

I know this is a little bit older, and you likely ordered your panels from Eric (good source, I've ordered from him in the past as well). If you do decide to try Pro Products again, the questions are worth answering since they have so many panels of varying sizes and heat output.

I have to agree. I answered the couple of questions that Bob had about my cages and got some awesome panels from him.

I use and like Pro Heat, would use them again, never had one issue with their products. I have Reptile Basics and they are good too, although the power cord can be unplugged at the panel and my retics will obsess with unplugging the panel once they know they can unplug.
