My Okeetee
Overhead Lamp + Ceramic Tile = Belly Heat. And both my corns are doing very well:
40 watt bulb in 20 gallon long gives consistent temps between 80 and 85, depending on how warm my place gets in the afternoon on a warm day.
I love UTH and Flexwatt, but lamps are so easy. I have the lamps on timers, and at 7:30 my night drop feature kicks in - the lamps turn off.

Re: My Okeetee
He is a good looking corn.
I don't offer my corn a basking spot as I hate lights of any sort being on in my house.. lol My corn has flexwatt but I think any snake would bask if given the opportunity. I think its more of them not "needing" to bask as long as they have a warm spot to help with food digestion.

Absolutely. As long as heat is provided, overhead or underbelly doesn't matter.
I have used Flexwatt for years as well. My collection is down to 3, so I sold my rack and just went to 2 tanks for my corns and an unheated bin for my Black Milk - the easiest snake in the world to keep (74-76 degrees is optimal).
...okay, Garters are just as easy.

Re: My Okeetee
Why do you only have 3? So, all you have now is the okeetee corn, black milk and black king?

I found that it felt like all I did was feed and clean. I wasn't interacting with them, having so many.
I now have 2 Okeetees and my Black Milk. I am much more satisfied now, taking time to hold them and put more into them, if that makes sense.
