    The brooks kings are easier to heat lower cool ambients and hot spots. Nice looking snake!

    Thanks guys! Maybe a bp next time.

    What would you suggest for the most accurate thermometer that doesn't cost a fortune? I need an accurate way to measure the temp at the level of the substrate.

    just out of pure curiosity where did your steralites come from I have a number but mine are all between 1/32 and 1/16 depending on where it is measured... I would love heavier for the new hatchling rack I am designing...
