My Royal is currently in a wooden viv with a ceramic bulb for heat. I'm considering moving all my snakes including the Royal over to RUBs.

What would be the best method of providing heat in the RUB?

are you talking about a rack? if so Daz B knows how to and i am sure he will answer for you later.

My young royals that are in rubs are heated via heat mats on stats.

You got it exactly how I would have it Anne...I would just use heat mats on stats.

And that will be adequate for a fully grown royal?

Next question is can you recommend a brand of mat? I've had exo terra rainforest mats in the past and not found them to be very good really.

Is one better than the other in any way?

if you've got multiple RUBs in a racking system go for cable, it'll work out more economical
