I use a combination. I heat the ambient temps of my room during the day to 82-84 degrees. However, I also provide surface heat for the species that need a warmer spot closer to 88-90 degrees. I allow temps to drop at night. I also use a natural light cycle (no special bulbs). I think heating a whole room for a collection of my size (just over 100 snakes) is much cheaper on the electric bill than individually heating every cage. The only problem I encounter with heating my whole herp room is that while I'm working in the room...it gets hot...very hot....I have to take lots of water breaks.lol
