Re: switching heat sources; uth, or flexwatt belly heat?
what is the snake,
is it nocturnal or a day roaming snake,
the reason why i ask is because if its a day snake, why not try a heat lamp with a slate tile underneath or something similar.
if its a nocturnal snake then go for uth
well thats my honest opinion anyway lol

The OP has a rack, so heat lamps are not feasible.
To the OP, I would go with flexwatt; cheaper and you can heat the entire rack with one piece.

A UTH is essentially flexxwatt... only difference is you pay more for the outer layer of plastic and if I am not mistaken the highest heating capacity is lower in UTH's

Re: switching heat sources; uth, or flexwatt belly heat?
I would assume snakies will be well out of the way so no worries about excess spray or fumes? Personally i likes a brussssh but thechoice is yours.

Re: switching heat sources; uth, or flexwatt belly heat?
Yea, they are in their tubs in the floor. With a heat light pointed at the tubs..... it is pretty crappy set up, but I'm still getting the right temps lol. I think brush would be easier, I could almost paint it in the room its in... witch would be easier ... I'm painting it a deep brownish red...
