I have a UTH for my Ball Python, but that heat alone isn't enough to keep the ambient temperature where it should be, so I also have a heat lamp for him. I was wondering if I should put the heat lamp over the same side that his heat pad is on, or would that make his hot side too hot?
Depends.
1. How hot is it now?
2. What size is the cage?
3. How many watts is the bulb?
The easy answer is to connect the heat lamp to a thermostat and set the temp where you want it.
