Hi Mark,

Have you considered a small incandescent or halogen flood instead of a heat emitter? I use 39w (50W replacement halaogen) bulbs and phillips 45 w r20 floods for most of my snakes (Morelia, kings, milks, balls). Have some hogs on the way and plan on setting them up with lamps as well to see how they work the heat. Floods work great and allow you to watch the snakes "interact" with the sweet spot of the bulb and spot heat different sections as needed. Gives you a great visual insight into how they utilize heat. Use floods, not spots though. Just a thought, good luck.

Will
