    Exclamation Extension cord with UTH Q and a weight inquiry.

    I need to know soon because I want to connect my corn snake's UTH to the new Ranco I got for my BP's cool side UTH. Since the temps for both would be around 82-84, I want them both on the t-stat. Problem is, the corn tank is across the room from the BP. Can I connect his UTH via extension cord to the strip of the Ranco??

    Also, just a quick weight inquiry here: are 124g for a @4 month old female BP, and 150g for a 14 month old male corn snake good healthy weights?

    All answers and suggestions are quite welcome, thanks.

    Yes... I have some extra tubs that are seperate from the main rack all connected to the same thermo via extension cords. I just suggest you get an outdoor one (as they handle more current and have thicker insulation - just for safety and peace of mind)

    For the bp thats ok. Keep in mind though even within one species, for example bp's they individually grow at thier own pace. But what size rodents and how often are you feeding him/her?

    Re: Extension cord with UTH Q and a weight inquiry.

    Cool, thanks for the cord info. I figured I should use at least a 12gauge for better conductivity, so that's what I have on there right now. Good to know I picked correctly.

    As for her details, juddb, I feed her a live medium small-adult mouse every 7 days. This size leaves the slightest bulge after eating which lasts at least till the next morning/afternoon. She's a great eater and has never missed a meal (except once when I skipped her feeding because of a sick feeder mouse).

    Re: Extension cord with UTH Q and a weight inquiry.

    For the weights bp might be alittle small. Not sure on the corns i never kept any of my babies and grew them up. So i dont know about how fast they grow. The bp as long as it doesnt look really skinny should be fine. Some grow faster than others. I have an 07 pastel thats 235g he was born on 6/25/07. Hes not much older than yours. He on rats. Maybe you should try switching over to small rat fuzzys if it will take them. Again if it doesnt look all skinny. Then most likely just fine.
