I only use belly heat for all of my snakes and no problems with thermal blocking, even with my 10 lb Dumeril's male. I don't like heat lamps, as they tend to dry out the viv too much. I am able to keep the temps in the room at 78-80 degrees where I'm at now though. If I move somewhere cooler, I may end up using an RHP to keep the ambient temps up, but will still use the belly heat as well. Just remember that humidity levels are just as important as the temps.
