    Bear in mind if you do use it that regular glass blocks a good bit of IR radiation, but plexiglass and acrylics transmit it.

    How about thru the screen (welded wire) top? Any problem with that?

    Never tried it. None of my enclosures are tanks with mesh tops. The tank for the carpet python is a 125-gal aquarium that I got free because one of the side panels was broken. We replaced it with plexi and had plexi tops made for it. It actually has two UTH's - one under the warm side hide, and one under a huge ceramic water bowl so the inside humidity stays up. The DHP bumps the ambient temp since it's downstairs and our house can get cold in the winter, as well as providing a basking area while perching.

    Thumbs up Re: Brooks Kingsnake strange digestion and behavior? (diarrhea and biting himself)

    This is an update if anyone is interested:

    He's been doing well, no biting or getting hungry too quick. I fed him 2 days ago, and he hasn't passed stool yet. He is not a fan of the oral antibiotics, but we're getting there. It is his 3rd day today. It does tend to irritate his gums because he is very adamant about keeping his jaw shut. I've tried a thin handle of a paintbrush and a bent bobby pin instead of the little syringe, but it is more of a hassle to go from one to the other. He did get a little bit on his mouth and when I put him back into his tank today, he started rubbing his head everywhere. I hope it doesn't irritate his skin, but he seems better now. He usually doesn't get much out of his mouth.
