Feeling frustrated

Before you go with an IR bulb (which will need an opening in the top for) try a 2 foot (longer or shorter not a spiral bulb they get really hot) fluorescent light inside the enclosure. They run in the mid to high 90s and will usually heat the air in the enclosure 5-10 degrees. Cheap and safe. Over night if you find the temps dropping you can add a deep blue led bank they are in the poor visual range for a python an kick low 90s for heat. It will let the temps drop some but not too far. The two together are less operational cost and initial cost of one fixture and bulb.

I always thought LEDs run cool. Where would I find a bank of deep blue? Just a regular flourescent fixture with the standard light it comes with. Since I put the accurite in the enclosure my humidity stays close to 60.
