Back vs. belly heat

[Adin]

I wondering what is more effective belly heat or back heat.

Effective at what?

I believe this depends on many things, but how cool your room gets is a huge factor, as is the type of cage. If the room is usually pretty warm, belly heat works great. If you have a cool room, belly won't heat a large cage well. Also, real thick cage bottom makes belly more of a challenge.

Keeping the ball pythons properly heated/ emitting enough heat.

I'm building a rack and don't know if I should use belly or back heat with flex watt heat tape and my rooms in the basement and it's usually stays really cool down here.

How cool?

I think the question is to use UTH or heat lamp. Answer is UTH...if the room is cold, use a lamp too to get the ambient temps up.

No, when you're heating a rack you don't use heat lamps. If it's really cool you might have to go the more costly route of tanks or vivs.

Thats fine. You want belly heat.
