I am keeping my boa in a vision cage and currently have a red light & UTH to heat the cage. It only makes it to about 80-81 deg. i was looking for a stronger heat source. what are the pros & cons of what is available to use for boas in a vision cage?

Where do you have your thermometer? Make sure the thermometer you're using is placed directly on the ground on top of the heat source.

I use a UTH. I was wondering where your thermometer is, because I usually have more a problem with a UTH being too hot rather than too cold. I wouldn't recommend lights and I haven't used RHP or Heat Tape.
