Temp problem.

[Philmul]

I have a 6ft by 2ft wide by 3ft high in my garage. It's fully insulated with a 200watt ceramic bulb in. The basking side is only 25 and cool side is 15. Shall I put a 60watt bulb in slightly closer to the middle of the viv so it heats cool side up to 29

These foreigner mainly deal with fahrenheit mate, might be beat to convert the temps for them ;) :p

Yes Rob we do. What if you add another ceramic on a thermostat?

[beardeds4life]

What is it for in the first place?

They could both be on the same thermostat.

Yes that would work but I assume you want the cool side between 19-22°c.

It is for my boa

Fahrenheit for the win.

[Philmul]

I have added a 150watt bulb. So in total it's 350 watts. Which made the basking area 87f and cool side is 66f

[KORBIN5895]

Your cool side is kinda low. You want that 6-10 °f hotter. What measurement is the height of the enclosure?

[Philmul]

It is nearly 3 ft high. I have put my boa in her old viv while its so cold out side. I will be getting a thermostat for it and when the weather warms up will reintroduce the snake. I'm insulating the garage with a heater in there for next winter.
