I have a 40 gal tank about a 2 ft male ball python (Radi). When I adopted him, he came with his setup, which for heating had two lamps (one ceramic, one light and heat). I don't really use the light/heat one since bp's are noctural, but I flip it on during the day if its chilly.

I also purchased a 20 gallon under tank heater and placed it under his warm side hiding space so he could be extra warm while he digested his lovely gourmet rats. Yum.

Anyways, will this be enough during the wintertime? (Both the thermometer(s) and the hygrometer that came with him are broken. I'm trying to find acceptable replacements as you read/I type). My house hovers around 65 during then, but my room (door is closed due to the fact that I spoil my parakeets and let them fly around my room all day. Don't worry! Radi's cage has a locking top) is always slightly warmer for some reason.

Oh yeah, and the heat lamp isn't directly over the heat pad. Don't want to melt poor Radi!

Thanks!
