I was wondering if anyone uses a space heater to provide heat for their snakes.

I bought a $13.00 space heater at wally mart about a month or so ago ad let me tell you even though the room is pretty much a sauna, I get the temperatures I need and the humidity never drops like when I used a powerful heat lamp. On my BP's tank I use a small heat lamp, dimmer w/25W red bulb to bump up his hot side to 92 degrees and my BCI is closest to the heater and her temperture is gradient falls between 83 cool and 89 hot and their humidity stays pretty constant around 64%.

Anyone have any experience or problems with this type of setup? Also, keep in mind, the room I keep them in is quite small and doubles as our home office.
