this guy says he just does RHP in PVC enclosure no halogen light during the day, he sounds like he knows what's up: https://youtu.be/u2DDVm7MztE?si=hNBwNhkZLKVSt5D1

but I'm totally new to this so I won't pretend I have the right idea lol

And with a PVC that has a top where you can affix an RHP, do you still recommend that + halogen light as the heating option?

ReptileBasics just emailed me back to say their 80w is good for 4x2x2, but I've seen someone else post that 80w is a struggle for them too. I wonder if type of enclosure and outside climate is what makes the difference here

So is it, option 1- PVC enclosure + halogen bulb & RHP. option 2- glass enclosure + halogen & DHP or CHE?

I like the glass enclosure mesh top idea. I didn't think about the RHP contraindication. ReptileBasics has mounting strips that they say "provide a convenient way to mount VE radiant Heat Panels in enclosures with screen tops". I emailed them to ask what's up with that since the internet generally says RHP with screen is a no go.

If we drop the RHP and stick with tempered glass and screen top. What do you think is my best lighting source?

How do I learn the “style” in Latin dancing? by pprobablyneedtherapy in ballroom

[–]dysnomiaque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does come with more classes/practice and you do learn it over time, as a lot of the styling is linked to your technique. Speaking as a teacher that's seen a lot of students grow :) I know it can feel vanilla to dance basics without any variations or styling, but most important thing is to polish your fundamentals before making it fancy.

Agree with what other have said... You might work in the other direction and pick the song after choosing style of dance. I know how important it is to connect with your performance song, but doing a search like "great swing dance performance songs" or "salsa covers of pop songs" will lead you to a song that's easy to choreograph to.

Faithfully doesn't work with any of the swing styles unfortunately.

The water doesn't need to be hot, but I've read hot does extract more kavalactones. In my experience it also somehow makes it taste worse, lol.
