home depot

does home depot sell any good lighting i can use to generate some heat in my tank

I'd recommend you skip a bulb and opt for an under tank heater with a thermostat since bulbs suck humidity out of the air and you'd need a bulb that doesn't generate white light, since a nocturnal animal like a ball python is not going to tolerate constant bright light.

i have a uth but it doesnt keep the tank temperatures constant i want to put one of those infared lights or a ceramic heat element maybee one of those blue infared lights i dont what. what do you think is best?

UTHs should be fine.. what kind do you have anyway? I use flexwatt. I don't have a bulb on anything (I've got 18 snakes on UTHs)

If you have the snake in a cool room, you may need two separate pieces of flexwatt, one for the cool side, one for the warm.. but I just got a space heater for my herp room so it isn't a problem.

its a zoo med i belive it came in a kit with the tank. i sleep in the same room with the cage so i cant have a space heater on all the time it would be to hot to sleep.

I guess I'm tropical.. lol I spend my days in the 83 degree herp room, and my bedroom (secondary herp room) is around 76 degrees.

is it me or do some people go to extremes for the temperatures if i keep it in the upper 80s he will be fine right i am not trying to bread. i just want one to take care of. i work in a profesional level job and i am not always there to take care of more than one snake. i just want this one to nice and healthy for the next 30 years.

The warm spot needs to be in the low 90s.. cool end 82-84.. nothing below 75 degrees ever.

I also have problems keeping the tank's general temp high enough with a UTH. I'd take Shelby's advice and purchase a better UTH. If you put a infrared bulb on it you'll be swapping temps for humidity. I have never used the ceramic bulbs so I don't know how they will work.
