New Boa Enclosure & Belly Heat

[ckuhn003]

Been awhile since I posted.

I ordered an AP T10 back in August. So, should be getting it soon. Planning on eventually housing a Colombian Boa in there. While I didn't order the belly heat tape, is that something that the boa might benefit with? Taking the advise here, I do not use belly heat for the ball python and Mexican black kingsnake, and they're doing great! But, I seem to read people using belly heat more so on boas.

Are you having the T10 delivered with an RHP? That's what most users and myself use. I know a couple people like Daski use both and RHP and a UTH which gives them an extra piece of mine if something were to happen to one of the heating units.

The RHP has been doing a great job in my T10 since I set it up a couple months ago. You just have to give yourself enough time to find the proper probe placement and dial in the temps using your thermostat. While it's not heating from the bottom, the RHP will still generate enough heat to get the surface temps where you need them to be (i.e. 88 degrees). Good luck!
