    Part of my problem is that I have the "cheap" UTH's from the pet store on both tanks. Using my IR temp gun, the heat varies by as much as 5 degrees on the surface over the UTH. I can move the IR gun an inch and it changes 2 or 3 degrees. I ordered and received some flexwatt and will replace these with that as soon as possible. Hopefully that will yield some more consistent temps. I'm using Johnson Controls A419ABC-1C on both tanks so I'm reasonably confident that they are stable and accurate.

    Wait until you get a large collection. Just heat the room, and never worry again about hot spots, cold side hides, warm side hides, UTH's, CHE's, RHP's, Flexwatt, multiple T-Stats, miles of wires and cords and plugs and power strips, adjusting, tweaking, worrying, etc.

    Made my life so much easier.

    I've never owned a snake and Faulkan has done tons of research but doubts himself sometimes.

    Thanks a ton guys. Both our babies are in an isolated 10x11 room with a Delonghi oil filled heater so ambient will never be an issue. We're using uth only other than the space heater. Overall, I think we're just fine. I was mainly concerned with my boa burying himself under the aspen under the cold side just after eating when he should be under his hot side hide.
