What are your units for measuring? That sounds extremely large even for centimetres. If your enclosure is truly really large you might be best off with 2 of those heat lamps on either side of the middle section of the enclosure.

Your heat mat sounds fine, just make sure to use a temperature controller with it.

For my enclosure I use a heat mat for my hot spot, and then use a 60 watt heat bulb to maintain ambient temps at 27 degrees Celsius(80 Fahrenheit) during the fall and winter season. During the summer my ambient temps are naturally around 26-28 degrees.

So depending on how large your enclosure actually is, it’ll change what type of watt you use and how many bulbs you’ll have to use. I use a 60 watt to maintain ambient temps and I have a ~35 gallon enclosure.

As long as both are on thermostats it will be fine - just put a guard round the lamp if it is inside the enclosure.

I would not recommend placing a heat mat inside an enclosure regardless of how it's regulated.
I suggest you remove the heat mat, and replace the spot lamp with a Ceramic Heat Emitter, you'll want to use the lowest wattage you can get away with so if your thermostat fails it won't kill your snake.


Also, if you don't have a thermostat, then I'd recommend ordering the InkBird WiFi off amazon, it's $50 so not the cheapest, but the best value you'll find.

Kind thanks for your time yes 1300cm long 500cm wide and 500cm deep night temp drop to 12 deg celcius and my umid is 70% i wil put controler on heatmat and yes the 75 w red bulb bring temp up to 27deg celcius 2 same hides 0ne left side ane right side water in middle

When you stated the dimensions of the Tank, you meant MM correct? not CM.
It is quite a large enclosure, but if you fill it up with as many accessories as you can it will most likely work.
