Hey everyone. Thanks for all the good info in my previous thread. I went out today after work and picked up nearly everything I need for a better habitat for my BP, following the sticky thread here on the forum.
The only thing I'm missing is two new UTHs and the two T-stats. I've seen the Alife and others online, but I'd prefer to just go out tomorrow and buy something locally. Does anyone know if any chain retailers sell good thermostats, or am I going to *have* to order online for my needs?
One last Q, the guide didn't mention what size UTH to pick up for the 20L tank. Would one t-stat regulated ZooMed 10-20 UTH on each side work? Seems like a common sense question, but I just want to be sure since nothing was specified.
Thanks for everything!
edit: oh, and one other question... I have been unable to find day and moonlight bulbs which don't produce heat. Do they even sell them? The guide seemed to suggest using the ceramic element for heat and referred to the two bulbs as though they were strictly lighting. That, and my ambient room temps are keeping the snake's tank at about 78F naturally throughout the day, so I'm not sure I need to heat it up much beyond that. I would very much like to have a day/night cycle though, particularly so I have light in my room at night when I turn off the overheads to keep from bothering the snake.
