I don't have my heat tape for my rack and I only have two heating pads for my two ball pythons and a heat lamp that I used to use for my bearded dragon. I don't want to get another heat pad for my coming soon ball python because I'm going to get my heat tape and thermostat this week. So can I use a heat lamp for the time being for like 3-4 days? Once I can get the heat tape and thermostat, I can just use the heat pad from the other snake for my newly aquired ball python which comes in tuesday. I do have an extra heat tape that my friend gave me because she didnt need it, but I got no clips, no dimmer, or anything to connect the wires.
