I am going to be going with a 20 gal long tank set up. I am trying to figure out how I should heat my tank. The room I am having the BP in can get cold in the winter. There will be a space heater in the room to help this problem (this heater is for me, not the snake). What I am wondering is how I should regulate temps in the tank. The options I am concidering are:
-A medium Zoo Med UTH and a ceramic heat bulb in a heat lamp housing.
-A medium Zoo Med UTH for the warm side and a small Zoo Med UTH for the cool side. This is the option I feel will work the best. I think it will keep the ambient air warm enough (especially since the top will be covered with plexiglass) and will regulate belly temps much better.
Which option would you all say is the best? Will it be ok with a small and medium UTH? I am suggesting a small because the tank I am looking at already has a small zoomed UTH, meaning I only have to buy one.
Also, I am not sure how the small UTH is attached to the tank. If it is stuck to the glass will I have issues? Can I remove it so I can put it on in a better fashion?
Thanks in advance for replies
