I want 2 buy my ball python a new heater and i have 2 choices:first is exo-terra heatwave "Tropical" and the second is just as the first only that is named desert for dry and hot habitats.I wanted to buy the tropical because is for humid rain forest habitats...but i don't know,i am a beginner and i don't wants to make a mistake

Doesn't really matter which one you get.

Your going to be controlling it with a thermostat right?

You ought to check out www.reptilebasics.com

You can get ALL the heat you need for a FRACTION of the cost of those other heaters.

i found them both to be barely warm to the touch and couldnt get my substrate above 80. zoomeds on a thermostat worked great...

do they ship to romania?

get the desert. The rainforest will not get hot enough.

I sold the Rainforest and the Desert to Theresa, here on BP. She returned the Rainforest because it would not get hot enough. You can see they are different watts. But the rainforest just did not get anywhere hot enough. She has several of the deserts and loves them.

Wouldn't hurt to ask!

Just as Lynn said I bought the rainforest and it wouldn't heat the tub or substrate past 85. I do have 4 of the desert and the work very well I do also have zoo med and they work well also. As for using one with a thermostat if it doesn't get hot enough the thermostat will not make it any hotter as they don't get that hot.
