I know the ambient temp should be around 80... I think? I ignorantly thought that the UTH would generate a heat within the tub that could achieve that.
I've been seeing things about CHEs, lights, keeping the room 80. I don't have a room that I can keep in the 80's. I thought BPs could be easily stressed by too much light?
How does a CHE work with a sterilite tub that isn't in a rack?
lol a CHE or Ceramic Heat Emitter is just a flat ceramic bulb that creates heat but no light. perfect for nocturnal animals like Ball Pythons. I use UTH and CHE, both plugged into thermostats, in my tub enclosure. My room is super cold (60°f) and I can maintain proper temps with just those two things.
Dont worry youll be fine.
I suggest setting up your enclosure and giving it a test run for a full day or two to see if you can maintain temperature and humidity before you introduce an animal to it. Good luck.
