I plan on getting a little cali king, my cage setup right now is a 10 gallon with a heat pad at one end and a UVA/B bulb. I'm buying a ceramic heating element just because the temp is not where I want it to be (winters are cold here) and am debating whether I need a basking lamp or not. I know they're nocturnal, but have seen several conflicting stances on whether they bask or not. Also whether they need a night lamp or not. I feel like night lamps are overkill as long as you have a good UVA/B source during the. day and the temp is where it needs to be at night. Any input would be awesome. Super excited to get my little one, I've wanted a cali king since I was little and it's been a while since I've had a snake period
