Question About Heat Lamps

[WarriorPrincess90]

It might be worth looking into a CHE and perhaps running it 24/7 and using a lower power heat light system Flourscent or LED. Just a thought. The red glass bulbs should be fine but the coated one (like the cheap holiday ones the coating often burns and flakes off.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is a CHE?

Also, the red bulb is a Fluker product. It's meant for reptiles. :/ I'm running a black light now to see if it throws off a similar scent.

I've also discovered, thanks to my handy dandy hygrometer, that my bedroom has rather high humidity levels. Explains why I have to clean the bathroom so often. And I never would have known if it weren't for the snake.

After running the black light, I think it just might be the smell of the heat coming off of it. Either way, I'm going to watch it. I also have a small under tank heater that I used to have on a 10 gallon that I put under the side of the tank with the hide. Even with the heat lamp the tank was only hitting 82. I can prop the tank up on some bricks or something so that the UTH can be there. But should I not have it under the hide? That's where it was on the old tank. But I can move it to the middle if that's better.
