heat

[chasingtime]

how can i heat a 125 gallon tank for my bci? i currently have a heat pad set to 92 hot spot and the humidity is 55 but i cant figure out how to raise ambient temps above 76. my top is all glass with air slats so bulbs are out unless i can get one inside the tank with some sort of burn guard. let me know what i might be able to do and thanks...

found a great way to take care of all my heating problem for my boa. i have a 125 gallon glass tank on an oak stand so i put a ceramic heat emitter under the tank on one side inside the stand with a rheostat pointing up creating a 90 basking spot and the heat trapped within the stand has raised my ambient temps inside the tank to 80. humidity is at 55. life is good now

so you have the CHE heating up the bottom of your tank like a hotplate on a dimmer switch, sounds like trouble. Personally since I have mine in a 4feet by 3 feet enclosure I have the flexwatt for the bellyheat and I Have a infrared heat bulb on a rheostat to heat the ambient temperature as I cannot for the life of me get the room where he is hot enough without costing me a fortune in the winter.

Its like that but i get it at the home improvement place where they sell bulbs Its like a 220watt for your size with the dimmer.

and for humidity I just mist and provide a moist hide during shedding time, right now the humidity is about 65 though.
