Re: Is there an alternative for a heater/CHE?
Give this snake a new home now please. Next time research before you get a snake.

A snake of any kind especially A Bp should not be something you get unless you have your own money to take care of it properly... or parents that buy you everything you want! lol

What you are doing now is causing harm to these snakes and how you keep them now will not be conditions that are survivable. These are not temperate climate species like some corn snakes, they are subtropic snakes that require a specific range of temperature that the vast majority of people can not provide simply by being lucky enough to live in a region of the world that mimics their native conditions.
Okay, thanks for the advice, I'm still determined to keep him, as I've found someone who sells a heat mar for reptiles. Neat! I can finally make a decent enclosure.

If I hadn't researched, I wouldn't have gotten this snake. I have done the research for the basic necessities in an enclosure, and I've found a heat mat online for my BP.

Re: Is there an alternative for a heater/CHE?
Some people seem to want to help, so I'll give some basic info in my home to help you guys:
1. I live in Indonesia, which is a subtropical country, so maybe that helps with temps.
2. The daylight temps are around 30°C and nighttime is around 26°C.
2. Humidity is fine, it's currently 58% inside.

You will also need a thermostat to regulate the power to the heat pad. Most important piece of husbandry equipment you need
