    Cold room ambient temp
    Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, I did try searching, but did really find what I was looking for. If/when I get my BP, I plan to get a plastic enclosure like a Boaphile or Animal Plastics Cage. My house stays rather cold (65 degrees or so) during the day when we are at work and only 68-70 at night during the winter. I know that is way too cold for a BP, so I wanted to know if there is a way to keep the ambient temps in the enclosure up without heating the whole room (I do not have any closets large enough to put a cage in). Can I safely use UTH with RHP or CHE? If so, should I have the UTH under one end with the RHP/CHE on the other or should the RHP/CHE go towards the center? If I get the dividable (shown here: http://www.boaphileplastics.com/divider.html) type cage, do I need completely seperate heating for each side. If I put the UTH under the center, what do I do with the RHP or CHE? Thanks in advance for any help, I'm really hoping all my questions now will enable me to spend more time showing off my new BP rather than trying to fix problems later.

    seams that a cage like the one in the link might be just to large for your ball, what I do ( also keep house temp in the upper 60), i have a room just for my snakes with a gas heater, or an electric one with a thermostat that keeps the room at 80, last year these was my sons room before he went to collage so we had two heating areas in the cage one at 88 one at 80 and it kept the temp well all winter long, hope it helps.
