Question on ceramic bulbs
So i kmow u would need a thermostat hooked up for a cerakic bulb but heres my questions 1. How many watt would i need for 54x long 22-23w 25h terrarium glass.
2. Where would u place the thermostat probe.
3. Would 1 bring up my ambient tempatures on my entire tank or would i need 2 ceramoc heaters?
Currently i have an exo 150w red basking bulb amd a 100w exo terra red basking bulb reason i use exo terra bulbs is they dont tend to get as hot as zoomed im not really looking to get more basking areas in the cage lol i have a uth for basking im just looking for bringing up the floor and ambient temps on my cool side seeing as they can drop as low as 74 73 thinking of putting another 150 on cool side seeing as floor gets about 80-84ish with the 150 on hot side im not usimg thermostat on these bulbs tho because the temps havent gotten high if anything sometimes they drop to low

Unless I’m misunderstanding, I don’t see why you need anymore heat sources. I think you’re saying your air temp is mid 80s on ho side and mid 70s cool side and you have UTH for belly heat. That sounds sufficient to me.

Thought your never suppose to let the temps drop below 80? My cool side with temp gun on ground ranges from 73 to 75 some places 77

Your enclosure is over 4ft long. If it’s too cool for your snake he won’t go over there, but he’s got plenty of room to find the right temp for him.

Unless I did a miscalculation ( and your size is in cm instead of inch), you got the same size tank as me, only mine is made out of wood.
I've got an 100w exoterra che hooked up to an thermostat. It keep my tank at 85 nicely on the hot spot and the cold side at 77ish.

I use red bulbs because i was told they dont mess with the snakes day/night cycle that you can leave them on 24/7. Maybe im missing something that isnt insulating the inside of tank ill double check before i upgrade the bulb
