Re: Possibly Getting a Corn Snake
Sorry to Hijack my own thread but I wanted to ask about tubs. I would like to have Dean(My BP) in a tub but the ambient air temp(as stated above) is only 70 degrees. As far as I am aware my only options would be to raise the house temps?

Nope, not your only option. You can use a UTH (under-tank heater) with a tub, with a thermostat, of course. A lot of people with tub/racks run the whole thing with one thermostat, but you don’t have to.

Im not sure if Im reading your post right, but I do have a heat mat for the heat sorce(on a thermostat of course) I was wondering if my ambient temps needed to be higher. I didnt really explain myself.

you could run a small space heater (most have a built-in thermostat, but they're not the greatest).

Re: Possibly Getting a Corn Snake
Sorry, I did mis-understand your question. My experience is mostly with AP enclosures, where the insulating properties of the material are good enough that the heat radiating through the enclosure floors from UTHs keep the ambient temps in the enclosures warmer than the air temp outside.

Shouldn't be. My house is in the mid-low 70s for ambient temps and my 6 year old corn has never had issues. There have been times that things have dropped a few degrees cooler in the winter, and he spent more time under his hot hide, but he's always been good. He's a big guy now!

Re: Possibly Getting a Corn Snake
I was wondering if a heat lamp would work with a taller tub? Since I need my air temp higher. I've seen people ( Like starscream? Sorry If I got your username wrong!) use CHE and just put screen on the top of the tub?

Definitely works. I have a similar set up as Starscream's for my ball.
