>>Does anyone else use a full room heating system INSTEAD of flexwatt or heat cable? It is something that I'm trying in my snake room currently. For those who have tried this, did you have any trouble establishing a thermal gradient in your cages? That's the one thing I still can't quite figure out. The cage temps just kinda stay around 80-83, with not much variation from spot to spot. What do you guys think?

In my opinion it is best to cool your room then provide hot spots for a thermal gradient..........another gradient that is important is humidity........

If your room is 83 now, how hot is it going to be in the Summer?
It'll be impossible to provide cool spots.......eh?
