Hi,

just wondering what the recommended heat is for a coastal carpet python basking spot..

recently bought a 100w CHE after 150w being Far too hot..

but now the 100w is only giving me 23-25c

if anyone has any recommendations or tips for me it'd be lovely :D

Tank dimensions - 900W108H60D (mm)

Thanks :]
 
Best way around it is to adjust the basking spot closer or further away from the heat, depending which CHE you use. 32 to 34 is a good basking temp to aim for. Just as important is the cooler end (bottom?); this should be around 20 degrees.

after letting it warm up a bit, it was sitting at 32.6c at basking spot.
the area where his hide will be is around 20-25(24.8 at time of writing this message but its still going down :p)

thanks so much
