UTH size for 20gal tank

[Viperk]

A UTH would raise the ambient temp SOME. You're putting heat IN the tank which in return raises it a little. Might not be a big difference but should raise it a degree or two.

Thanks,

Oh and the reason the bulbs are so far away is I have an acrylic covering for the tank top. I don't want it to get too hot. This keeps the temp of the acrylic around 94 at the hottest, I was afraid my snake would stick his tongue through the screen and get burned on the acrylic if it gets too hot.

Voodoo Im making my top now sort of like yours Im making a cut out for my CHE so it is about 2'' above the screen. seemed like a good idea to me maybe you can try it to boost the air temps

My temps and humidity are spot on now. I had to drill a few more rows of holes because the humidity was actually too high.

Actually switched from a piece of plexiglass to that plastic used to cover recessed fluorescent lights. I shattered all my plexiglass and was tired of wasting 20 bucks a sheet. Found this stuff for 6 bucks and its much easier to work with. Its not totally transparent (translucent though) so I don't think it looks as good, but functionality wise, can't beat it.
