Anyone using ambient heat only successfully?

[PitOnTheProwl]

Have you ever experimented with using just the oil heater and no heat tape?

I have note, yet. May try in a couple months when we start heating up.
My snake room usually runs an ambient temperature in the low 80s during our summer months. I am thinking all the THG also raises the ambient a degree or two.
I would love to see how much it would lower my electric bill..... Don't think it would be enough to offset the a/c in the shed for the rats.

I am wondering the same things as well as would it be beneficial to have a night drop and what would happen to breeding females when they are in cycle and seeking either hot or cold?

Not going to high jack more than saying its not needed to drop the temperatures.
