Enclosure for Boa

[Sauzo]

I think I am going to order a Herpstat 2 now. If I only use it for 1 heat source is that ok? Also, should I upgrade to the steel tip probes?

Yes, you can turn on and off each channel independently. I run one of my Herpstat 6 with only 3 channels on and another one with 5 channels on.

When I got home I realized the temp in my room was 65 and the cool side was like 68 degrees. Should I get another UTH for the other side cool side after I get the thermostat?

For sure. 68 is WAY too cool. I wouldnt go below 70F ever and thats only for an hour or so. For regular cage temps, i wouldnt go below 76F. I keep all my snakes with a 77-79F cool side and a 86-88F hot spot.

If ambient is cold, you might need to get a small CHE and put it on a lamp dimmer to get the ambient in the cage up to around 77-79F. A UTH isnt going to heat the air even close enough to go from 68-78F.
