[QUOTE="Jonesy1103, post: 2541701, member: 52060"] Hi One of the most common advices you will see here will be "get off the red globes". I'm off them, they blow way too often, dont make as much heat for $ spent on power. People also put Ceramic heat emitters down pretty low on the list Heat mats or cords make perfectly controllable localised heat which makes setting up a gradient heaps easy. However there would be some safety considerations to consider with a wood floor Check the DIY section but I think people put a heat mat on a wooden floor and put a tile over that, position a hide directly above that, with the thermostat temp probe right inside there. That way you can create a precise 32+ point for your snake. Another one I have read then goes on to put a low powered halogen shining down onto the hot hide to provide warm light for daytime basking See these: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.aussiepythons.com/forum/threads/harpos-spotted-python-enclosure-build.226952/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.aussiepythons.com/forum/threads/new-spotted-python-enclosure.227844/#post-2541060[/URL] I'll add a few more I have read a fair bit of them, just gonna trawl thru now [automerge]1625378451[/automerge] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.aussiepythons.com/forum/threads/heating.226891/[/URL] A bit of design gets mentioned in here [automerge]1625378805[/automerge] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.aussiepythons.com/forum/threads/childrens-python.228175/[/URL] This one has a good setup in it (Harpos setup further down) Anyway enjoy the reading eh [automerge]1625384169[/automerge] Oh yeah sorry; on a re-read it looks like people put alfoil down on the timber; then the heat mat; then the tile; then the hide. So please consider the safety factor first! Someone with first hand experience is gonna chime in soon I am sure; I am just an informational middle man here [/QUOTE]
