    Ball python heat tape question PLEASE HELP

    Hey guys I was wondering if you can answer a question please? I live in P.A and it's about to get cold soon so I want to order some heat tape for my hatchling/juvenile ball python rack cause I live in an older house and it gets very cold in the winter but I don't know what size to get. I was thinking 6 inch because I have and open system on the sides and back but don't want to get to carried away with the heat. I do have an herpstat 1 to control temperature but still unsure and i need to imstall it before the weather brakes. PLEASE HELP ME!!! THANKS IN ADVANCE

    For the 3 inch even if it's a open setup where Temps in my house can drop below the 600 at some point? Would the 3 inch give them enough heat?

    Would the 3 inch be enough heat if the room drop below 60 degrees?

    I know I was thinking space heater and humidifier should fix the ambient temperature and humidity problems

    Three inch heat tape. You can put a blanket over the whole rack to help keep the heat in since it has open sides.
