I have the opportunity to trade a rack I will build for a pair of pastel 100% het pieds one male one female. I am able to build another shelf on my rack to hold 2 more snakes but here is the problem, I am already using a good amount of heat tape for my current snakes and I can't add any more or it will skyrocket my electricity bill.
But, I do have a space heater with a thermostat so it would be easy to set the ambient temp to a specific temperature then I would remove the heat tape, because I have heard numerous stories of people having success with their snakes by just using the ambient temperature. If I do this my only worry is that my snakes now have had heat tape their whole lives, would they adjust to only having ambient temp and no heat tape? Or would it be too drastic of a change for them to adjust? I'm just thinking "out loud" here trying to think what i should do because I am being offered a great deal.

What do you guys think?
