my cat attacked my snake...

welp i freaked out and emptied all the wood from the enclosure lol. i laid paper towels down. but now my question is...is she gonna be able to get under it and sit on top of the heaty pad and burn herself? cus that was my reasoning for putting the carpet, and on top i put the repti bark

If you have your heat attached to a thermostat and set to the proper temperature(90-94) then there is no chance of the snake getting burned!

um yea for cats n snakes just dont seem like they would go good togther

someone told me if they are right up against the glass where the pad is they can get burnt. i have it on a thermostat

also i would add.. there is no telling what is on your dog or cat (mites) .. so i wouldnt even let them in your snake area...

Just check the temperature right against the glass and make sure it's within the hot spot range. BPs can and will burrow down to it, and paper towels/newspaper are thin enough that they won't be much cooler on the top

The bugs are deff wood mites, I had them from my repti bark too, I just ran water through it and strained the stuff, a lot. It really helped getting rid of all the nasty dust in there too, the water comes out red looking.

I guess you can bake it too...

well I have 2 cats and my snake is in the livingroom what I do if the cats get to close to the cage I spay them with the water bottle :) :P

I never never never even let my cat in the same room with my snakes because he would swat at them and try to hurt them.

if it was me i would just get a bigger snake for the cat to play with mabey a nice hungry 16' retic. ;)
then again i've never been a cat person. lol
