I've been testing the new radiant heat panels from Reptile Basics for the last few weeks. I am very impressed with their performance.
I've been wanting to try some heat panels for a good while but haven't been satisfied enough with any that have been on the market to actually put down the money to try them.
I had corresponded with Rich about these heat panels when they were still in pre-production and the design and features of them had me interested. I liked the fact they were designed by a snake keeper specifically for use in snake cages, rather than just being adapted for use in cages from other applications.
Being unfamiliar with the usage of this type of heat source I wanted to test it out fully before exposing an animal to it. The more I tested in in various situations the more I liked it.
I had been thinking about starting a product review section on my website for some time and I was impressed enough with this product to use it as my first subject. You can read my full review here

So far I have found these heat panels to be superior to flexwatt and any other heating source I've used in cages so far. I intend to switch most of my conventional caging over to this type of heating.
