Here is a pic of my new rack I got from RBI. It has a Helix on it. Now my snakes feel right at home.

Nice pick up

belly is way better

Let your stat go nuts and see what happens i have a friend that had belly heat and lost 3 snakes from a rogue stat !

Belly and back heat work the same in my opinion, but back heat tends to draw a little more power in order to keep temps correct.

I would agree 100% there is no difference thats why i use back if the stat goes nuts they have a chance !

My rack has belly heat. I prefer belly heat my wife cools down the house at night and the belly heat seems to keep the temps good. If your house is usually warmer then back heat would work fine.

(GREG) As for ditching the decor that is my wife's doing. She wants the snakes to feel at home and be comfortable. Can't argue with her she is always right.

So your basing back heat vs belly heat on your friends three snakes, while hundreds of thousands of snakes are doing great on it right now? Did you ask what kind of stat he used? Probably cheap.

Any chance you have any info on what happened to snakes that had back heat with a thermostat that was faulty?

I prefer belly heat for a more efficient basking spot. Heat travels vertically, not horizontally. So most of your back heat is traveling up the side (vertically) and not into (horizontally) the enclosure.

I use Helix thermostats with a back up thermostat, so I don't worry about failing thermostats.
