How do you keep the enclosure at a safe temp?

[SquirmyPug]

So you use a two RHP to raise the ambient temps 15+ degrees? That's what I thought. Sure they can raise the ambient temp a couple degrees, but anywhere close to enough in the OP's situation, it's not going to happen. I understand what you said, I think you don't understand how temperatures work.

I'm not targeting you, you're trying to argue what you think over logic and what actually works and doesn't work. You don't take a chance on an animals life like that. I know it's not going to work, and if the OP gets the snake anyways, then they're irresponsible. If they won't listen to facts, do you really think they're going to listen to anything you say? No, that's proven as well.

I know a guy Eric Pharr who used to free handle venomous snakes, I advised getting him getting venomous snakes. He got them anyway, hundreds of people advised him against free handling and he did it anyway. You know what made him stop? He got bit by a Cerastes vipera. When people do exactly what you advise them against even with facts, history shows they do what they want anyways. People know what's right and wrong and they break the law anyways.

You're still not reading what I said. I do understand temperatures. It's literally one of the things I work with for a living. What bothered me the most is the fact you automatically had to point out that I'm new here so I must not know anything. You don't know who someone is based on when they join a forum.

The way I described doing things SHOULD work. Will it because of the low temperatures the op is dealing with? I don't know. You don't either. It's an option if he's going to get a snake. I haven't seen any others that might work yet.

Exactly, I stopped reading anything you said at the point SHOULD, because it's not definite which means you're putting the animal at risk in advance. I've seen another situation jut like this, and it didn't work, so actually I do know. This is why I said it won't work from the beginning. That's what I'm trying to tell you, but you're stuck on should.

If you're not even reading what I said then don't quote me and try picking apart what I said. And as I've said, it's been the best option so far.

It's really not. But thanks for your suggestion without having actual experience. OP has stated they will try other stuff, which means the took the advice of people who have actual experience.

How don't I have experience? I have RHPs. I have uths. I have insulation on my tanks. I have lower temperatures in my room. The only thing I gave my opinion on was that it MIGHT work for him with his low temperature. And thanks for lowering my reputation for no reason other than the fact you didn't read what I said and wanted to seem "right".
