will this work for balls? a uth set @90 -95 for warm side - - - - - and a uth set around 80-85 mid tank - - - - then the balance of the tank at room temp - typical room temp being 70 -74 - - - don't bash me - i only have one ball and i am trying to eliminate any need for heat lamps or ceramics, etc - its just hard for me to imagine these midsize to big breeders running all their "snake rooms" at 85 degrees ambient - i know they are mostly using 3 inch flexwatts in rack sytems - keepni a variety of breeds with different temp needs in the same room - th'x for your help

That should be fine, just watch your ball, and see if he acts "comfortable" He should cruise all over the tank a while after the lights go out, Make sure you have a couple good "hides", one in the warm area, and the other more in the middle. He will show you if he is too warm or too cold...Good luck

I only have a UTH set on the hotside from 90-92 degrees... My cool side remains 10 degrees or so lower than that... I've never had to use a 2nd one... but that sounds good
