I'm not looking to debate this here but if a snake is on the ground below the emitter it will only get back heat as it is blocking the heat from reaching the substrate. I have 2 boas both in new enclosures. I used a radiant panel for one and belly heat for the other just to test this. Belly heat has been proven more than a few times to be great and easy to maintain and royals seem to thrive on it so I figure at this point its the best. Heat emitters are not wrong but so far I think they are best used on arboreal or semi arboreal snakes where air temp is a huge factor or bigger factor if you will.
