I'm not sure what you mean when you say you're "his heat source a lot." What size enclosure are you working with? My room stays right around 74 and a...

He's settling in great! Got my new thermostat in so he's set up at proper temps in a tub. Not the slightest hint of attitude or thinking I'm...

The temps are relatively good, I broke my daytime light but I'm getting a mew one today. I'll look into the temp gun

My female burm has a star headstamp so we named her Astraea, after the Greek goddess.

He shed before we got him, which was around christmas, hes definitely going into shed. I tried feeding him yesterday, he looked like he was ready to...

I open my shades, as his cage is near a window so he can tell if its day or night, I just have a major problem with keeping my heat up, I am...

I forgot to put “Progression” at the end of the thread title. If a mod sees this, could y’all change that for me. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone...

"going for a splore." - Stella

Forgot to mention something else, putting the thermostat probe under the panel and setting to 90F works much better if your room is relatively warm...

I had this exact same setup, and it never worked right with the probe by the heat panel for me. What worked very well was to actually let the probe...

Such a gorgeous snake! Really nice reds and oranges. Glad you picked him up and that he will have someone who isn't afraid of him to take care of him...

How's your 'newcomer' doing? You know, corn snakes come in all sorts of variations, but my favorites are still the "nice normals" like yours, or...

Wow! Stunner! Congrats!

Yea those reliabilt ones have slim trim and they’re cheap. Great suggestion. Thanks again.

Okay, thank you! Exactly why I made this thread. I’ll definitely go to the store and look at some of the options. and yea, I read a post on this...

Yes. .25 with a larger surface area will give faster, it will flex. If a Retic or Berm pushes an feels the flex, he's found the way out. Then you...

That's a bright little jungle you've got there, wow! Congrats! Glad to hear that she had a nice flight and is settling in well. I'm looking...

She's a beauty! :bow: "Stella!" That fits...as in, short for stellar- :D

Interesting. I though 0.25” tempered was pretty standard for reptile enclosures. Even when I just had 0.25” annealed it handled my retic striking it....

does he have spider in him? spider BPs can have HORRIBLE aim because of the corkscrew way that they move their heads. I have actually heard of them...

It's always worth a try, some snakes will eat this way & some won't. Love it when they do! And that reminds me of yet another possible issue: ...

I have a girl that would almost always strike early and miss. I've started just laying her prey on the substrate and she eats no problem.

Shower door with a retic? Can we say broken glass everywhere. Sliders are made to take 100MPH+ wind debris. The 1/4" glass shower door didn't survive...

Are you using long feeding tongs to offer prey to him? That can help you line it up better for him, while staying out of his way. Hold the prey a...

Some of my snakes have "moss cushions" too, lol...as described above by Caitlin. :gj: And for a heavy-bodied snake like a BP, that's probably a...

I am going to join the chorus here and emphasize that a black tote isn't a good idea for either you or your snake. The opaque plastic totes like the...

Just remember that other than "honest mistakes" that a snake might make at feeding time (confusing our heat signature & motion with prey they can...
