I have an UTH that is on all the time, and a heat lamp that i use when the temps get too low, but it butchers the humidity.

I'm thinking of getting some kind of insulation to put on the back and sides. Does anyone have any other tricks or will i have to heat the entire room?

Thanks in advance.
I used to live with my dad who wouldn't turn the heat on in the winter. My snake's tank did fine, though! I put foil on the screen lid but cut a hole where your heat lamp or any attachment is. This also allows airflow cause you don't want to COMPLETELY cover the lid.

I also purchased foil insulation and wrapped it around the back and sides. His tank never had a temperature problem after that, even on the coldest days. The foil insulation I'm talking about can be bought on amazon for about 20 bucks. It's a bubble wrap/foil insulation and worked great for me!

Since I've moved in with my boyfriend we have a nice warm house and luckily for me, my boy doesn't need the insulation. It does work though! And I left it on during summer too so long as you have a thermostat. Saves a lot of power because it holds the heat in a lot longer so the heater isn't on as much and the thermostat makes sure it doesn't get too hot!

Hope this helped!
