My question is for you people with multiple snake tanks do you find it easyier to heat each tank individually or heat the whole room to an ambient temperature and just use a bulb or uth for the hot spot. Right now I have lots of aquarium type setups I run the heat tape on reostate along whole bottom of cage except for about 18 inches and then I use a overhead light on a timer to make a basking spot where there is no heat tape.The heat tape keeps the ambient at about 82 and the hot spot is about 92. I am kinda new to the boas only had corns and they are alot less demanding heat wise. The problem I face is that it gets pretty cold around here in winter and I dont want any respiratory problems. I wanna do it right just kinda stuck right now as to how. Maybe I could get a few pics of your setups that work and go from there. My setup works fine now I just wonder how well it will work when the house is 65.
