The zoomed ones can use up to 60 watts and the exo terra ones can use up to 26 watts. I use one of each. I have a 40 watt bulb in the zoomed and a low wattage flourescent in the exo terra. Having those two on top seems to retain heat and humidity in the cage pretty well since the whole screen top is being covered. There is still ventilation from a chink in the swinging doors and the exo terra trademark ventilation holes near the bottom.

The shade analogy is directly aimed at the fact that I can see the red light on top of your leaves. I was pulling for you as I personally know a semi arboreal set up is fine for a boa but you wanted proved wrong so I told you why it wasn't working.

I see your point, but I am here with the thermometers and heat guns. You can't just tell from pictures you have to be in my shoes.

As for listening to both sides I did. Aaron was right that something was wrong but didn't have an exact answer. Yours had no real facts, knowledge or experience backing it up but it definitely wasn't your fault.

Well let's just say I know when to let my ego down because I did end up moving my boa to a terrestrial setup in which I do see improvements.
