    So Brb’s actually don’t need as much of a hot spot as other snakes! But that being said, I have heat lamps! And one trick with these larger spaces is to put a lamp over a ledge/perch so they can get closer to the heat if/when needed. I have an additional smaller wattage lamp above the tree perch
