I have thought about going that route, but do your snakes do ok without a hot spot?

I know that heat tape and thermostats are a bigger investment up front, but is it easier on the electric bill in the long run?

I have my office rack that has heat tape, night drop ect... for cooling my females.

Would I be better off heating the entire new room?
