That one I run on a rheostat. In your climate, you can prolly get away with just the built in belly heat.

The cage is easy to clean, and has plenty of floor space for everything but the largest female. I don't think a male would ever outgrow it. It holds humidity and temps better than anything short of a rack and tub system. With the front opening, it's very easy to get your BP in and out.
When you said in my climate did you mean toronto? Because I will be moving back to Taiwan when I get my Ball Python. In the summer the air con will be on, and in the winter there won't be a room heater. So its pretty different than here in North America, so I want to be safe and have two heat sources on thermostats.

Actually, a lot of reptile owners in Taiwan don't even bother with heat sources because the weather is so hot. But I think this is because the pet industry is really bad there. Mainly I want two heat sources because the air con will be on a lot during the summer months. It might seem like over kill because Taiwan is a tropical island with very high humidity, but I just want to be safe.

They do not ship to Canada so if you plan on ordering one you'll have to find someone to ship it to and then have them ship it to you.
Oh man... thanks for bringing that up. I guess I have to rethink this a bit.
