The house temps are set this low purposefully and won't be raised, so that's not an option. Neither is purchasing another heat panel at this time, though I do have an array of uth at my disposal if I have to use them. I just spent upwards of $800 purchasing the enclosures and rhps I have. My snake spending is on hold for a while. I'll have to figure out a way to make it work for winter weather.
Soon our indoor temps will jump to 78ish so it won't be an issue any longer.
I'm using a vivarium electronics hobbystat at the moment and I have a few of the little hydrofarm buddies that I use as well. The VE is okay. I intend on switching to herpstat shortly, aesthetics are my reasoning as the VE works just fine. I started out with hydrofarm on everything and I've yet to have a problem with them keeping steady. The actual temperature reading isn't exact on each of them, but once I find a setting that creates the appropriate amount of heat I've had no issue with their ability to hold steady. I only have three snakes at the moment so I don't need anything large or impressive as long as the job is done.
