No it was a hypothetical question. I am doing more research on racks since I've never used one. I plan on adding another carpet to my collection along with a green tree python or amazon tree boa later on. If I find out (by research and asking questions in this forum) that keeping baby arboreal/semi-arboreal snakes in racks is easier vs plastic/glass enclosures I may buy an arboreal racking system from reptile basics. Hence my question as to whether belly or back heat would be better than the other for extreme conditions. Where I live, it gets very hot in the summer and very cold in the winter. I need a housing method that can provide consistent thermal gradients in such conditions.
EDIT: My current carpet is still a baby. about 6 months old and shy of 2 feet. Currently I am keeping it in an enclosure with a heat lamp and it's working fine but if I were to add more snakes of the same kind and age, I'd look into a racking system until they are big enough to move into stack-able plastic cages such as boaphile, animal plastics, vision...etc.
