    Second heat source

    My snakes are in one of the coolest rooms of the house in the winter. I don't want to move them, but I can if I have to. The warm side is at 92, but the cool side has really dropped. What is the best way to heat up the cool side? I have a UTH on the warm side. Any suggestions?

    Re: Second heat source

    what if you move the UTH down towards the middle of the cage? or just a few inches. would that help?

    You don't want the heater in the middle.. because you need a cool side and a warm side.
