Hello!
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.

look into the large heat mats, not really sure exactly what the dimensions are on your cages but the large heat mats or maybe even the style of heat mats they use for hogs.
but i have the 6 inch heat tape on the bottoms of the out side of my vision cages and a heat lamp in the lamp hole, with the two combined it works out pretty well

I have 3 radiant heat panels from Reptile Basics.
All three are on thermostats. 2 are for RTBs and one is used for my ATBs. I have never had an issue with them not heating enough.

I have 9 RBI heat panels being used in visions, neos, and animal plastic cages and they all produce plenty of heat. Even in a room at 55'. I have all of them on thermostats.
My King Cobras are in 6ft slant front neos in a room that is brumating for colubrids at 55'. Their cage floor temp under the panel is 78'.

I am currently keeping my room around 75 degrees and my 40w and 80w panels do not even use 40% power to achieve a 88-90 degree hot spot. I use 4'x36"x18" boamasters. Last year, the ambient room temp was around 70 degrees and I don't think it had to use more than 50% power unless it was reheating after being opened. I use herpstat thermostats that tell me the % when used on pro.

I think,in the long run it's best to heat the room. I keep my boa room at 85. Use no panels,just heat tape. Never an upper ri or a wheeze. If the room is well insulated it holds heat well. My biggest room in my basement used one oil radiator and kept it at 83 during the winter. Cost about $80 ish per month.

They're UL listed unlike the RBI panels.
