low ambients, but perfect hot spot.

[Nimitz87]

it rarely gets cold down here this far south but the weather is messing with my snakes temps, hot side is 88-91 or so but the ambients have fallen quite drastically, what is the easiest approach to maintaining above 75?

will it hurt them for a few days to have it cold ambient but good on the hot side?

both my rtb and BP are on the hot side hides.

What sort of heat setup are you using?

[snakesRkewl]

I use a space heater in my snake area to keep ambient temps above 68.
Hot spot of 92-93 degrees at all times.
Ambient temps this time of year in the snake room are 68 degrees early morning to 75 degrees by mid day.
The rest of the year I maintain the snake area around 73 to 75 degrees 24/7

i have read to low of ambients can lead to RI's i lost a snake earlier this year and since then have been using snakes rkewls advice with a space heater.

running a heater in the one room for your snake is a lot cheaper than a visit to the vets for a R.I.

Oil filled space heater is the way to go.

If it's not going to be sustained at that temperature, it's no big deal. They will thermoregulate.

heating setup is UTH and t-stat guess I should go get a little space heater, thanks.

I have a $15 ceramic space heater that has a dial to adjust temp and works pretty well, granted its in my closet in a small space; but it is on low and holding temps fine, even when my bedroom was in the low 5x range.
