I use undercage heattape, though thats because my two are in a rack system. If i was to buy them each a T10 id probably use a RHP...

Re: Your preferred heat method?

I have AP enclosures for my snakes and use Pro Products RHP's controlled by Herpstat.
It's not a dedicated snake room as it's also my office so ambient temps have been a challenge (ie, I don't like running my furnace in the winter any higher than 65-70 tops, and during the summer I like the a/c around 70). I'm insulating the floor and ceiling space with R-30 unfaced fiberglass (unfaced in the attic as my roof joists are insulated) in the next week or so and that should help. Doing so will provide insulation to 4 of the rooms 6 sides leaving 2 walls uninsulated to other interior rooms. Hopefully I will not have to run the electric oil heater in that room this winter.
As you stated - having a dedicated room that is properly insulated and temp/humidity controlled would be ideal and this is my best attempt without building a room in the basement.

My corn snakes are ambient room temperature, usually around 77F. Everything else has Pro-products radiant heat panels set up on Johnson Controls thermostats. The ‘everything else’ is a Colombian redtail, a Colombian rainbow boa, ball pythons, and a Solomon Island ground boa.
