You fear the future, lol. That is rather pathetic. I just said to use a UTH, its more useful, and obviously majority people use them aswell. Heat lamp isn't really useful, I mean don't get me wrong, for a basking spot, they're great, but you definately don't need more then 1 heat lamp, as he stated which is why I said what I did. However another proven statistic is that heating lamps kill humidity, not saying that the sand boa needs a ton of humidity.
