Ok so I just got my new ARS hatchling rack built and setup, it’s awesome! But, I keep my snakes in my basement and it stays around 65. My other racks the ambient is in the mid 70s with the 11” heat tape I used and everyone has been fine, no issues. This new rack is not getting warm enough ambient from the 4” heat tape, it’s set at a 95 hot spot and still the ambient won’t go past 65. Is this not going to work? I have no idea what to do if it won’t, I can’t heat the whole basement so I don’t know how to get the ambient temp up. I only have a few weeks to get this right before I’m going to have hatchlings to put in it. Will they be ok as long as they have the hot spot to regulate their temp or do I need to get the ambient up somehow? Any help or suggestions would be great.

Here it is
