I am struggling here with what really is the best way to effectively heat my 2 snake tanks. I have a Hog Island boa cross and a Spotted python. The Hog Island is in a 20L glass tank, and the Spotted python is in a 10-gallon glass tank. Currently, both have UTH's and I also use a Hood lamp overhead with a dimmer and bulbs. I have read that any type of overhead bulb is not good and should not be used, along with Heat emitters.

The 2 UTH's that I am using I just question as to how effective they are at really providing the snakes with the appropriate level of warmth that they need on the warm end of the tanks.

Can I have your take on this please. Thanks .
