    Re: Just a few questions

    A 100W bulb in a 20 gallon tank, especially if it's a 20L, is way way too hot to use unregulated for a BP. Again, every single heat source must be on a thermostat!

    OP, if you are considering switching to a heat mat, PLEASE make sure you have a thermostat before you plug it in.

    I used ceramic heat emitters on a dimmer with my BP before switching to bigger cages, and still use it for my sand boa, but it is really important if using a dimmer and not a thermostat to monitor the temps. OP, what are you using to monitor temperatures?
