Well, I have finally finished my snake apartment building. I decided to keep the 40 gallon glass display tank, with the custom insulation, hides, etc. I raised my normal male Ragnarok from hatchling age in glass tanks, and he is accustomed to that as his environment and seemed unhappy in his new rack tub with the other snakes. He was constantly trying to get out, while my other snakes are perfectly content in their tubs, as it has always been their natural environment.
The irony of it is that I am keeping my Normal Morph python in the display tank, and all my "designer morphs" are in tubs. HAHA! WIN for the normals.
Pictured below is the Infrared space heater used to keep overall ambient room temperatures up. By keeping the space heater at 75F and aiming it at the rack, it keeps the cool part of the tubs around 78-80F. Heat tape keeps the hotspot at 92F, (the thermostats for the rack and the tank are not pictured as they are behind the glass tank).
