Setting up my baby (1 year) dwarf boas first enclosure. I was pretty set that I was gonna have a UTH for her as that was what I was told was best. However now reading that it is better for boas with heat lamp like a CHE? I have both a CHE that I am no longer gonna use for my BP and I also have a heat mat that I bought for this purpose. Kind of reluctant to do both as I am trying to eliminate having too many devices around tanks and I just set up a little mini snake room/closet that will keep the ambient temperature covered by a oil heater on thermostat.

Would love to hear what you use and what you think is best for heating a boa tank, keep in mind that this is a small tank. In the future I might look into a radiant heat panel once I size up the tank, but not as of now.

Oh and to clarify since the question might arise I have all devices on thermostat controllers.
