So, with the thermostat set on 77° daily, and the fan on all day, the ambient temperature of my new reptile room is 85°. I've been using heat lamps on my snakes since my rack isn't working out right now, and I immediately measured heat within an hour of setup. Anakin (KSB) had a hot side of 105° which, in my opinion, is too hot even for a desert snake. My ball pythons all had equal hot spots of 100°. Because I felt this may be TOO warm, I turned off the heat lamps until I can find out a solution! For some odd reason, the ambient temperature does not falter past 80°. Other than my desert animals ( my beardie and KSB), should I even bother with heat and this point?
