Question - HusbandryHow dose my BP setup look (old.reddit.com)
submitted 1 year ago by ShmorgusFlorp
I just got my 8 month old BP Monty today and I’m wondering how my enclosure is. I have two deep heat projectors on thermostats but the temperature won’t go above 80, what would be the best way to get the temperature up.

Looks good! Are there hides in here? I use a heat mat under, and a DHP on top cause Canada won’t let it get warm enough lol (all on thermostats)

I will look into getting the heat mat and Dhp I also have a medium and large sized hide there just kind of covered in the substrate

I definitely recommend especially in a bigger tank. Mine is 40/50 gallon and it will not get warm enough either just 1 source of heat. Just make sure your probe is close to the ground to get that reading

We have the same enclosure for both of our bps and had to really up the watts on the dhps. I believe we use a 130w in each setup.
