Well as you know I just bought a corn snake. I'm still curious as to heating though. I've had a few people tell me I need both the UTH and the lamp. On the corn snake site they said just the UTH. What's the deal there? What do I need to ensure my snake is going to stay healthy? The light or UTH?

I will need to go out and get a thermometer for the bottom of the enclosure. I have a hide, a water bowl, aspen substrate, and the 10 gal tank. Is there anything I'm missing that I really need ASAP?Also lid has the clips on both sides but there are still gaps..Can I place something heavy on it for the time being until I get a better secured lid? I know I've read a ton of information but I guess I'm still just a little confused.

She's in her hide box now.

She's really a sweetheart. I need a better digital cam. My phone doesn't do her justice.

Thanks everyone!
Thea
