Using another UTH with a rheostat is simple enough. If I get the floor temps right on the hot and cool sides and the humidity correct, does it matter what the ambient temp is? I would love to get away from using a red heat lamp. The ambient temp would, most likely, be around room temp of 67-72F. Is belly heat enough?Originally Posted by dr del
Hi,
Remember if you put a UTH on the cool side you can control it with connecting it to a dimmer switch then connecting that to your thermostat that is controling the warm side - you will want to monitor and adjust it fairly often at first till you get the dimmer set right though. This is probably best done with the snake not in the enclosure - another reason to have the tanks set up and stable for a couple fo days to a week before getting the animal wherever possible.
It can be trickier to set up than two thermostats and is obviously a compromise but it should be possible to do it.
