It all depends on your snake's needs. If it's colder, I'd do belly, if the room is in their range, do back heat.
I am in the process of building a 18 tub rack. I am worried my room may be to cool. I was wondering can you do both belly and back heat using two thermostats? One for the hot spot one for the ambient?
