Under Tank Heating

[Aes_Sidhe]

Um my vet bills last yr would disagree with you!
In order for the ambient temp method to work properly you have to have a very tightly controlled room. Most do not have that much control over their room and have cold parts and such, on that case you do need a hot spot, perhaps not 90 degrees, but you do need hot spots, otherwise your keeping your snakes in the 70s and that will make them sick.
Also if you like feeding large meals this method may not work very well for either.

Just Pointing that we talking about Ambient temps in 80s not 70s... In winter time my thermostat is set on 95-105 degrees depends on temp in the room (my supper like to turn heat late) and that is temp on heat tape... and temp in rack oscillate 84 warm-78 degrees cold side... I never have any problems with my balls...

I was even advised that Building females Should be kept even colder around 82 degrees to decrease development of Slugs...

I keep Balls since 2009 never have Hot Spot in the full meaning of that world... Just keep temp gradient...

Never had sick snake either
