    32 qt tub ambient temperature in a 70 to 75 degree room

    My question is pretty much summed up in the title. My home does not allow separate temperatures for different rooms, but I wanted to get a ball python and house him in a 32 qt tub or larger. It stays around 70 to 75 degrees right now in the Texas Summer, but I know ambient wise this is not good for a ball python with just a heating pad on one side of the tub. I am trying to decide between two rooms to keep him in, a computer room and the laundry room. The latter probably stays the warmest because of its location and windows, yet it is also probably the coldest during the winter months. Is my only possible fix a space heater in one of the rooms? I would rather not get something that heats the entire room but rather just the square footage around the snake. I don't want to make any purchases until I know my home and I are capable, so thank you for any help that may come my way.

    Re: 32 qt tub ambient temperature in a 70 to 75 degree room

    Every question seems to assume people are trying to build racks. I am asking this question because none of the already asked topics satisfy the answers I am looking for. The closest I have gotten is people recommending space heaters but I don't know how feasible that is for me. Unless a cool infrared light over the middle of the tub would work without drying up humidity.
