    I use just bought a Exo Terra 40W ceramic bulb for my tank, raises it a few degrees and hopefully lowers humidity since I'm out here in SoCal. I also use a UTH with a Helix thermostat.

    Ok so I should get some heat tape, and stop using the lights? the main reason I use the lights is b/c the ambient temp in my house is low (its an old house) and the heat does not stay in that well.. and any other person I have asked besides on here says they use lights.. I'm still learnin, and am tryin to take it all in. I house my BP's in a 10 gal tank ( one each tank) and my one BP is in a 30 gal tank that has an odd slant to it. thank you all for your info and help.

    Cheers:gj:

    You can also insulate the tanks with foam board(from local hardware store) on the sides and top. Thats what I do and it works well for ambient air temps!

    Use Exo Terra Sun Glo 75 watt bulb during the day and then Exo Terra Infered Red bulb during night time.
