Well...I finally got a snake!! lol been wanting one for years...juvie male pinstripe...I feel like I just had a kid LOL
Anyways..got a quick question and figured this website would be the top place to ask...
I live in a basement and its got rather a poor A/C/ heating system..I also cant sleep with it too warm...I have set up nice therm gradient across my 10 gal tank...but at night I have noticed the gradient goes out the window....Orion's hide is right over the UTH I have...
Are there any good recommendations for methods to keep the rest of his tank a more moderate temp thru the night...I realize there is supposed to be about a 5 degree drop once "night" hits...but so far the first two evenings its been more like a 10-15 degree drop due to the damn basement.
A friend of mine recommended a ceramic heating unit..but they are rather expensive and quite frankly scare the crap out of me in regards to the heat they put off, price and me being a new snake owner.. I also have looked into a 75 watt Zilla Night Black Heat or a 60 watt Zoo-Med Nightlight (the red kind)...I am hesitant to provide too much light of any color during the night so as to not throw off his cycles...but a slight glow wouldnt be too bad as I am a night owl and would love to be able to see him slithering around at night too...
Any advice/help is much appreciated...
