Help me set up my tank?

Here you go: http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...ad.php?t=56846 This is a great sticky, written by Cassandra, all about setting up a glass tank. This ought to help you tons and give you some really good ideas ;)

The ultra therms are great they dont get higher than 95 dgrees, the smallest one they have should be fine its 6x11... The really hot mats need to be smaller because of the amounbt of heat they produce... Ultratherm is the best... You wont need a thermostat or rheostat if you get one....

Shoot on a 20gallon long tank you can probably use the 11x11

i would still get a dimmer or a thermostat even if it only gets to 95.theres no way to be sure it will never malfunction and get hotter.it also depends on the temps in the room the tank is in.you will have your snake for years to come and it deserves the best care you can give.
