I'm having trouble preparing for a BP.

EDIT: During the day I give my ball pythons a 92F hotspot, ambient air temps of 80-84f. I give them a night drop to about 85F warm side and the rest of the enclosure will be around 78F.

How do you keep and maintain those particular temps? What's the temp outside of the enclosure?

Racking system

I heat 23x16x6 tubs with 4" wide heat tape. The rack itself is made of PVC so the walls insulate the heat. Even when the room gets to 75F the coolside during the day will be 80-84F.

It may be harder to do if you use a tub and just leave it in the open with one heat source. If your house really gets that cold in the Winter I would use the method I suggested above. Either that or keep the tub in an enclosed area that will insulate heat (solid walls like a racking system).
