baby corns

my bad, way up there i said she only had 3 left, actually she has about 20 or more, maybe i got the numbers mixed up....anyways.....

i know corns dont need as much heat as bp's do so would i use just a uth or a heat lamp or both ??

I'd still go with a uth only for the belly heat. :)

so a uth and thats all ?

That's all you should need. Care is pretty much the same as a bp, just different/lower temps. Now, it is possible that you may need overhead heat if, say for instance, your room is cool, etc. Belly heat is important for digestion and I believe should be your main source of heat - and then supplement with overhead heat only if needed/desired. :)

ohh i had a question...i found a human heat pad a couple days ago but it has all these scary warnings on it and stuff like can cause burns and all that stuff. but when i put it on low and feel the bottom on the tank it feels warm to the touch not hot or anything, so i thought it would be okay to use .....BUT...it covers the whole ten gallon tank so i thought i could just use half of it ?? do you think that would work or should i just got out and buy the same one my bp has ?

Human heating pads are fine. Just be sure it's outside the tank, you have airflow under the pad, and be sure it doesn't have auto shutoff. As long as the temps measure okay (be sure to use a digital w/ probes or a temp gun) and measure the temp on top of the substrate (unless it's a loose substrate then measure underneath in case your corn burrows)-dont' judge the temps based on how they feel to you. I use a human heating pad for my quarantine setup. It's huge, so I just use half of it.

how do you get air flow under it ? it willl be sitting on top of a desk .

Prop the tank up on either end with something like bricks or anything else (I've used books before in a pinch), just make sure the tank doesn't rock or wobble and you should be fine. :) This raises the tank up off the desk several inches and allows for air flow.

hmm i never knew you were suposed to do that........my bps cage is not propped up ,should it be ?

the human heat pad does not have anything sticky, how could i get it to stay stuck on??

I prop mine because I like having the air flow under the pad, and to reduce the chance of burning the area where it's resting on (right now, on a carpeted floor area). You might try duct-taping the pad to the bottom of the tank.
