HI all, I need advice on heating multiple cages. I have 15 20 gal tanks. The room temperature runs a stable 73 to 78 degrees. I use heat lamps during the day. I am worrie ill start the house on fire with all those lights! Snakes are doing well, eat well and shed well but I think there must be a safer way. Please help!

Are they all in one room? I have my snakes all heated with a radiant heater from wal Mart. Keeps the room nice and toasty around 82-86 degrees depending on how high it is set and how high the temp is in the house.
No need for extra heating on most of the caging.

I would think the winter temps get pretty cold there. It gets into the low teens here in Northern Arizona and we have to suppliment the heat mats with oil heaters.
These heaters are electric, oil filled and very safe.
The main drawback is with Six of these heaters running for about Three Months it's expensive keeping my snakes warm.

I don't use lights for any of my snakes..
The only animals that have any additional heat (for the most part)
are my lizard, boa, and ball. But I could just boost the heat up for the boa and ball if I wanted and not use their UTHs at all. I don't know anyone with a bunch of snakes out here, whether it be greeley, denver, foco, pueblo, and westcliffe who uses anything other than just a warm room.
