    Re: I tried keeping them separated
    right now on the warm side i have the undertank heater and a basking lamp....

    With a tub, do i just put an undertank heater on one side and not worry about a light? Or do i put a hole in the top on one side for a light.

    I was watching the feeding 8pb feeding video and i didnt see any lights or heating sources in the tubs.

    He doesn't use any lights. He does use a heat source under the tubs tho.

    I guess it is just hard to want to stick them in a tub.. but i guess to them it is more like a natural habitat.

    I just feel bad sticking them in a little dark tub with no crawl room and nothing to do.

    They arnt rats. No need to crawl around too much, they don't loose muscling like we would if we just sit around. All my snakes are in tubs and thriving, eating all the time, and growing big. Yes, just put the UTH under the tubs as you would with a tank.

    I'll share with you why I love them: my ego is completely out of the picture. Snakes have an entirely different physiology and brain structure relative to mammals. Snakes will never care whether I live or die. Snakes will never give me unconditional love and affection. Snakes will never snuggle with me when I've had a bad day or make me feel proud because I have taught them their latest command. For me, Snake is a great teacher. Snake teaches that I can care for and invest in something and it is okay that I will never get anything in return. For me, this is refreshing for my brain and joyful for my heart.

    this thread concerned me to start with... this comment makes me even more concerned... how much research was done early on.
