Not necessarily, if it works for you and it has never bothered your snakes then just keep it the way it is And your spot on about controlling the temp with the CHE's ive had trouble in the past with them.

I've decided to try an experiment Klaire. My carpets are in a divided T8. They both have red heat bulbs on a dimmer to help boost the ambient temps. The lights are on 24/7 but I sometimes turn them down at night. I've only turned them off once and my ambient temps dropped to 68F which I think is too cold. I'm going to switch one to a CHE and see if I notice any changes in behavior. I'll switch it up and try it both ways with both snakes for 2 weeks. I'll keep you posted on the results.
