Again congrats and good luck. I have a big humidifier, and I control the thermostat. And you better believe that helps a lot when you have tanks. If you take that strategy, a good uth on a thermostat and a red bulb with a rheostat. You should be able to do it. I hope that helps. I’ve done tanks and dedicated snake enclosures. And yes the latter is much easier, but I personally like tanks. Looks like you do too, lol.

Thank you so much! I am expecting some extra effort needed to get the temperature and humidity "tuned in". I am doing this in little steps for the set-up as Freddi is still ok in his 20 Gallon enclosure. So I have time to be able to get everything set-up and "wired-up" correctly. I am not taking this lightly. What kind of rheostat do you use? I was looking into this for a red bulb as I know I will need a 100watt bulb to help with the ambient temperature. Other thing I am trying to figure out is if the overhead light that came with it can withstand a red heat long-bulb.
