The best way i find... is to heat or cool the room, depending on time of year, to correct ambient temp, then provide a hot spot with heat tape under one end of cage for a temp gradient. I like at least a 10 degree differance depending on the animal and what im doing with it at the time.

Its best to have sperate areas, for snakes that will be cooled and go off feed for a period and for those that are year around feeders and not breeding yet.
This works well for me.

Hope this helps a bit..
Thanks
