    Most people only use under the tank heaters.
    Some people use ceramic heat emitters. Especially if your using a large tank in a cold room.
    Some people don't even bother with heating devices and just heat the whole room.
    Bp's don't really like or need overhead light. And they do not need uva or uvb light.

    Re: snake tank heating problems
    I wonder how they are able to keep a proper ambient temps with only a uth considering a uth doesnt raise the ambient temps much.. I know the warm side for ball pythons is supposed to be about 90 and the cool side around 80. I am assuming thats refering to the ambient temps.

    So right now the ambient temps are ranging from 78-81°f. The glass above the uth is at 93.8. And inside the warm hide is 87°f with about a 1/3" of substrate. Would the snake burrow and rest directly on the glass if it got too cold? Would this be ok? Any other advice besides getting a ambient heat light? I might get a che with a lamp dimmer to help raise ambient temps.

    Your temps are good where they are at, no need for a che.
