Well I did it...

I broke down and got a 60qt tub for her. She's no longer in the glass enclosure. Thank You everyone for your help. Lets hope she's happier in the tub than she is in her tank... :)

Quick question guys. As this says I just got a tub but now I'm realizing I'm having a hard time keeping the ambient temp above 71. I live in CO and my house is normally about 73-77 so the temp in my room isn't high enough to keep the ambient up. I have an extra uth from the tank I had her in. If I put that on the top (connected to the thermometer of course) would that help raise the temp? Would it do the same thing if I put it on the bottom?

Good question I am in the same sort of boat. I live in Pa but have my rack in my room in the basement which cool. My cool end temp never goes over like 75-77 but where I have the hot side it is perfect at around 92-93 degrees. I am curios as to how we can get the ambient temps up myself.

Not an option. I only have one snake her room is my room. To have my bedroom heated to 90 degrees all year is not going to happen. The beautiful women whose room it is as well would probably kill me. Which is why I'm trying to heat just the tub.

I still have my che that I used with the aquarium, could I mount it above the tub? That would essentially be the same thing as the heater only a more centralized zone of heating.

your first problem is you have more than one female to fight with about the heat;)

you can just put a 2nd uth under the cool side to bring the temp up to where you need
