There is a valid argument to use a CHE/lamp as supplement heat for ambient temperatures in a tank.

I agree that UTH is the best bet to provide the heat source for your snake, however depending on how *you* keep your room temperatures, enclosure type, etc... there is a valid argument to use a CHE/lamp in addition to a UTH.

Just saying.

i normally keep them all in a rack except for my boa but the power went out cuz of electrical problems in my house while i was gone and when i got home there temps were about 45 degrees and they were almost dead and the only way i had to warm them back up until i get the power back on is to use a heat bulb i had as a spare for my boa cage and while i was messing with the breaker box he had gotten himself close enough to it to burn him pretty bad on his back my wife talked to our vet friend but he was at work when she called so we are waiting for him to call back
