I have one, the largest one that Big Apple carries. They heat relatively well and work great for the price. I still have it, but do not use it anymore as I do not have the wood cage I was using it in. I would recommend them.

Re: desert ray heat panel

Awhile back I was going to sell it for pretty cheap because I had no use for it. But right now, I'm in the process of thinking about building a three level 4x2x2 enclosure. If I decide to build it, I will more than likely use it, if I don't build it, I will keep you in mind. However, I do have three 250W CHEs that I have only tested and may sell for cheap if I do build the enclosure because I will probably go with just heat panels.

Re:desert ray heat panel

I think the desert rays panels are crap. i put the largest one in my cage and it did nothing whatsoever....that was a waste of $50...the panel itself heated up but did nothing in the cage.....

Re:desert ray heat panel

i have had no problems with mine i have the biggest one in my 4x2x2 on the ceiling of the cage on the hot side and it keeps it at 90 all the time with the help of the heat tape on the bottom of course.

Re:desert ray heat panel

Have to agree with Xander here... The desert ray radiant heat panel does little radiating.. Using just that in my 4x2x2 got the temp to a 74 high.. Now the surface of it was 115..

Re:desert ray heat panel

i bought 2 of them and both of them combined only made it up to 76 F in the cage.

Re:desert ray heat panel

Now if you want to get a real good heat panel, get a Helix. They cost, but the heat really radiates down..

Re:desert ray heat panel

I have a desert rays radiante heat panel in my boaphile, and it works great! Temps are right were they should be. I also keep mine hooked up to a Ranco Thermostat cause it will make the cage to warm for my Boa. I heard good stuff about the helix but they are really expensive. Mine works just fine!

Re:desert ray heat panel
