I also posted this in the Reticulated Python Forum. Hello.. I have a new snake room I built about a month ago in the basement. It measures about 11' x 11'. The outside walls are insulated but the floor is still concrete and is really cold. I live in Wisconsin. It holds 5 of the 96" freedom breeders. Right now I have an oil-filled heater in the room which keeps the upper half of the room at about 80-83 degrees and the bottom of the room, the problem, anywhere from 65 to 72 degrees. The heater is on hi and turned all the way up on the other dial. The ceiling is not finished. I have 5 reticulated pythons so i need the ambient temp on the bottom cages to be at least 75 degrees. Does anybody have any ideas how to maintain the proper ambient temp in the room. I am sure Chris "The Guru" Harper can help me...please. I have the temp controllers set to 99 for there hot spots that is with the probes touching the plastic above the 11" heat strips. But on top of the news paper it is about 95. I have large tupperware filled with moss for them to hide in on half of the heat source. There is a hole cut on one side of the lid and I spray the moss everyday. Their little humidity box. They love them. The only problem is they spend all of there time in there because of the low ambient temp on the other side of their cages. Two of them have started a slight weezing so I am taking them to the vet tomorrow. I just recieved them a week ago and two of them had weezing when I got them. Those are the two I put on the top cages. They are better now. The top cages on both sides of the room are ok. But the bottom two on one side and the bottom one on the other are too low. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I will post pics of the room tomorrow night.
Thanks,
Don
