Rhp heats objects like substrate, hides, decor, your snake etc and does heat the ambient some. Rhp is actually the best choice in your situation. My house stays around 60-65 all year round, I heat 2 of my snakes with rhp (soon to be 3) and one snake a uth on each side. They all eat good and are healthy. The 2 cages I have rhps in and the 1 cage I've been testing for the new addition I'm getting this week run a 90 degree hot spot with a 79 cool when it's the coldest in my house and 81.6 when its the warmest, one of the cages stays between 81-83 on the cool side. Rhp will work great in your situation like it does mine.
