If they are constantly below 75*, then that might pose a problem. Is the snake going to die if the ambient is below 78*? No, but it could very well get sick. Much like how if we are in the cold too long, we get sick.

Well I foiled the whole tub and put a blanket over the tub and her temp is up to 77 degrees this morning. I am going out tonight hopefully to get the foil bubble wrap stuff tonight, target didnt have anything nor did they have any type of space heater.

Is there any advantage to one of those CHE type bulbs as compared to the red bulb?

I'm thinking I might need to do something like this in order to get my ambient temps up where they need to be.
