    If you are claiming that you can keep your room at 60 degrees and raise ambient temps upwards of 15 to 20 degrees with either belly or back heat - you are wrong.

    I have back heat set to 95 degrees in a rack in our snake building. The hot spot gets to 90 degrees at the back of the tub. At the front, it is the ambient temp of the room (79 to 80 degrees). In other words, back heat does diddly squat for ambient temps.

    My belly heat racks are set to 95 degrees and get to 91 to 92 degrees at the hot spot. The warm ambient end is about 83 degrees with the cool end the same exact temperature as the ambient in the room.

    I set my stat to 102 the back of my tub reads 90 the front reads 84 the room stat is set to 68 ! A lot has to do with the way the racks are made and yes i have back heat so to say im wrong is a little off seeing how thats how i have all my racks !
