    I don't think you understand that JWKempo is being sarcastic. Does anyone live near Alberta? They need to find this girl and take her snake from her before it dies. Snakes ABSOLUTELY need heat lamps. The air temperature on the hot side needs to be 88ish, and the air temp on the cold side needs to be above 75. The heat pad is not going to provide enough heat, especially since it's covered by substrate and a hide. If you can't provide your snake with the proper conditions, someone in this thread will be calling some form of Canadian authorities to have you fined for animal abuse. Those fines will be even more than a thermostat, IR temperature reader, and heat lamp combined.

    Your snake will die if it isn't warm enough. He won't eat, and he'll starve himself to death. He seems like he's happy now, but the temps in your tank are not suitable for him to be living in. This is causing great stress to your snake that will unfortunately lead to his slow and painful death. I'm not exaggerating by any means.

    Do you happen to have any emergency fund with which you can properly fix your Marshall's environment? Also, money doesn't work like that. The reason it seems to cost "more" in canada is because the value of money is lowered, so it should take 2 days of some sort of work to get $55 canadian dollars. Simple enough? I suggest also setting apart $300 canadian dollars for your snakes burn. You keep tripping over your own words. If you're trolling go ahead and come through please. This isn't a funny joke. I have given real consent over a joke.

    I don think Jwkempo is not being sarcastic. I am not abusing Marshall. Abuse would be purposely harming him. Look at this picture. Does he look like he's being hurt in any way?

    Not having a thermostat is not abuse. That is ridiculous that you would even try to accuse me of abusing Marshall.

    I am not joking! You guys do realize that you are getting THIS upset over me not having a thermostat?! Seriously?!

I've seen as much as a 10-20 degree variation from one part of the pad compared to another part. Especially when covered with substrate.

    Exactly! Interesting observation on heat pads.

    I've decided to leave the forum. This is just absolutely ridiculous. Way too much drama. I will not be posting anymore and I won't share any info about Marshall other than he's still doing great. I hope you guys have a good time with your arguments and I wish all of you the best with your snakes.

    Reed?...sarcastic? The hell you say! Licking snakes to check their ambient surface temperature is a little known secret I learned from Bob Clark when we was wrangling snakes together in the Amazon. Most amazing thing watching ole Bob lickin a giant retic from snout to tail...

    You'll be back to tell us all we are correct and that you need lamps, thermostats, and soon you may need humidifiers, space heaters, or even more! Have fun with you snake when he decides to stop eating. You'll post and say, "OMG MY SNAKE HASN'T EATEN! WHAT DO I DO!?" and the first question people will ask is, "What's your husbandry like?" and as soon as you say you're only using a UTH without a thermostat and that you have your humidity unregulated, they'll tell you to get your tank conditions up to par and then he might eat.
