Best way to heat a glass tank?
How does everyone heat their glass tanks for their bps?

UTH and a lamp if my ambient temps dip at all. also something to note is if you have a screen top you may want to consider covering a good bit of it will plexi glass or something like that. helps hold some heat and helps with humidity.

uth on both sides, heat lamp in the middle. of course all of them on t-stats. cover the top with foil.

Only a UTH? Nothing else?

ok so i am guessing you are looking for something you can buy at a store right? if so get a UTH for the correct size tank you have and a lamp for the middle. I dont put a uth on the cool side because i have plexi on the top and my temps are correct without it. but UTH on one side lamp middle and that should do it. just make sure you have a hide on hot side and cool side and they are identical so the snake can go between the 2 to regulate its temp.

I use a UTH, covered the top with foil like the instructions in the sticky forum, and covered three sides of the tank and it works great. I keep the house in the high to mid 70's.

cardboard around the outsides of the glass is a cheap way to help insulate the tank

I blacked out 3 sides with paint, used the foil and tape method mentioned in the sticky, use a uth and heat lamp, and have my tanks in their own room with the temp set at 77 (keeps the ambient tank temps at 82.5 consistantly)
