UTH questions

[BuckeyeBalls]

Seeing as my heating bill is astronomical already, I think I have to leave the light on! Unfortunately it's not on a dimmer though, so I'm going to have to change that. I did switch the UTH to the bottom and it has risen the temp of the aspen decently. Thanks for all the advice so far, you have all been extremely helpful!

Reson i say a dimmer may help is because say u cant use a space heater or any way to heat the room. You would have to use a lamp. Unless some1 else knows a diff way, You could try to cover top with foil to keep heat in

But as far as dimmer say u got a 75W bulb. It puts out to much heat u can dim it down to put out less. Also uses less power

You may want to get like a infrared bulb so it doesnt really bother him. Because like 24/7 will stress it out

Edit*

Listen ATLEAST dim the uth man. Your uth will reach 120* and burn ur snake. You DONT want that. The uths get to hot at least with a dimmer u can control how hot it gets to some extent

Best bet would be a thermostat but they get kinda expensive

Edit x2*

Also its best to use like a acu rite at walmart $12 that has a probe u place inside the cage on the uth to get the exact temp. If you dont have one already
