[borat1]

any ideas how?

Im kind of limited as i said before this is my set up, let me know some suggestions heat wise

i one 150 watt nocturnal heating lamp on each side of the cage and on the hot side i also have an electric heater plugged in.

So im trying to find away to keep the snake comfy without me dying from likea heat stroke lol

Get some belly heat. Belly heat is what should be at 93.

Your snake won't have a heat stroke if you watch your temps. What's your method of measuring temps? analog stick on, or digital (Accurite)?

like a heating pad to put under his cage?

[Nate]

A heating pad is prone to failure. I would recommend a heating pad if absolutely nothing else is available to you, for a few days at most. Some refuse to even use them.

A lot of people use Flexwatt heat tape. This is, in my opinion, the best route, yet it is the most expensive route. For you, you may do well on say, one foot of 11" flexwatt heat tape. Heat tape gets extremely hot, so you must use a thermostat to regulate the heat so it doesn't get too hot. There's Johnson, Ranco, Helix, and Herpstat.

flexwatt most expensive? how so? because you have to buy a thermostat for it?
