You’re very welcome.

With this particular set up, yes. The CHE is centered over the tub to give a pretty uniform ambient temp and there’s a UTH that sits under about 1/3 of the tub.

This setup is just for quarantine in my cooler temperature bedroom and that is the reason for using both heat elements. My snake room is about 80° in the warmer months and would need only the UTH once I move the animal out of quarantine.

In my other enclosures I have a combination of heat tape and/or RHPs depending on the enclosure type, size, and species being kept. There’s no one right or wrong set up per se. Only what works best for your animals in your conditions. Just be sure that all heat elements are properly regulated.
