Like me, you are using a pretty deep tub which makes it hard to heat the air temperature. Some possible solutions:
- Downsize to a smaller tub (if your snake's size permits) or at least a shallower one. Tubs that are around 6 inches tall are easier to heat and a lower wattage CHE will probably do the trick
- Increase the wattage and or use two CHEs
- Increase the ambient temperature of the room your snake is in (I know this is not always possible but it's the best way to get ambients right in tubs)
Another thing that might help is insulating the sides of your tub. Some people put foam or stuff like foil covered polystyrene on the sides of the tub to keep the heat in. Of course this means that you won't be able to see your snake but that probably isn't a priority for a tub user anyway.
