For small habitats ive always preferred to use a Spot Light for heating.....
it helps with the temperature variant.
I have a large habitat...6ft long, 3ft high, 2ft deep
would a flood suit this Habitat better?...
is the heat distributed different.... ?
i currently use a 150W spot.....will a 150w flood give me the same heat but larger area?
thanks for any help

flood lights give more heat !
the heat is wider distributed...so for a habitat that is big..it is better....thankyou to all!..lol

A snake handler cousin of mine told me the same thing. Reckons he has had his ceramic for 10 years.

the habitat has the juvies in it...yes their big enough but im only doing a 6-8wk brumation with them
so they can wait...
my spot lasted 11mnths..a 150 w exo terra light...not bad eh!...
but was concerned that the flood may give out too much heat in temp....
so bought one anyway....works great...i have multiple basking spots...
& my varient is still the same at the cool end!
ended up answering my own question!...lol
