Title pretty much says it all. I have a plastic tub setup with a UTH hooked up to a thermostat. As of right now I have newspaper down as the substrate. I don't have the ball python yet. Everything seems to be perfect except the ambient air. The temp is between 72-75 on the cool side. How do I raise it to 80? I've seen where people use space heaters in a room but I'm trying not to do that considering I will only have one snake. Is there any other ways? I was thinking maybe aiming a ceramic heat emitter at the tub and that would heat it up? Idk if that is safe though. I could put it on a thermostat but wouldn't the thermostat turning it off and on kill it? Maybe put it on a dimmer? I'm not sure. I'm just wondering what other ball python owners who use plastic bens are using?

Thanks!
