Stupid right??) you would think when you order it they give you all the cords you need for it. Idk what to do... If i ordered it from new york ( i live in arlington texas) idk if it would get here in time!!!! What do i do?!,!,

Do you know how to solder? You can use any 2 prong power cord from home depot and solder it directly to the busbars on the heat tape (the metal bars running perpendicular to the black heating elements). I can give you step by step instruction on how to do this properly if you need.

No i do not. I feel stupid, ill probably get a heat mat at expo... Why didnt i think of that.... And by the way, im 13, what does solder mean????

Soldering is the process of joining 2 pieces of metal by heating solder until it melts and using it to bond the 2 pieces of metal. Its actually pretty easy.

Here is a video that shows the process of soldering flexwatt

Wont there be somebody at the snake expo selling heat tape as well as the connectors. That is where I have bought in the past here in Florida.

Ill look and see, but if not ill get a heat mat, thx guys

If someone is selling tape at the expo, they should have clips and be able to attach them for you.

Ok i have the heating under control... Morphs suggestions?? I have about 400$, if i get 2 they heave to be cheap. What should i get??!?

$400, if you're getting one animal:
Male bumblebee
Male enchi (maybe female? Not super familiar with this morph)
spider either gender
Pastel either gender
Cinnamon either gender
Male lesser / butter for sure, not sure about female
Mojave of either gender
Male pastave (HUGE maybe)

$400 for two animals:
two pastels for sure

more expensive half of the $400:
spider
mojave


less expensive half:
pastel
normals (potentially normal het something)
cinnamon

Off the top of my head from the morphs I'm familiar with prices for. But remember, it all depends. When I was shopping for pastaves, I saw 400-550 for females. Male bumblebees are typically listed at $350, but I got mine for $300, and I've seen some at $400. You never know. But as a rule of thumb, think quality not price.
Keep us updated, good luck :) There are more but those are some basics to start you off with,

Were you planning on breeding eventually? If so, I'd invest in females as they generally take longer to grow out. Then pick up your males along the way. That's what I plan on doing :) I remember seeing a female bee at the last show for 375, but they offered to drop it to 350. I wish I'd snagged her up, but oh well. What are you interested in as far as morphs?

I already got one female, if i get 2 i want a male and a female
