Scale rot? Scales falling off?

I will bet the room temp is all of your problem.
The water is condensing on the tub walls because of the temperature difference.
If your only heat source is UTH, the room is also too cool to hold stable temps.

so I need to fix my whole room temperature not theirs.
this may be a silly question, but is there a way to create a warmer ambient temperature within the snake rack, instead of within the tubs? if I got the heat tape on all five levels and then covered the open front with glass or plastic. so I almost make like an "incubator"
it's just that it's gonna be near impossible for me to heat my room up to a good 80 degrees. it's very big, open and it doesn't even stay warm with the heat on. I can try, but if there's an easier way that would be very helpful
