Set up for new snake

[moorea]

Here is a very recent thread about a cheap tstat failing and burning the snake causing much more in vet bills than a good tstat would have cost in the beginning. This person did a brave thing of owning up to their mistake and used it to hopefully teach others to not make the same mistakes.

Just an FYI, I have no issues spending whatever money needs to be spent to make sure this guy is healthy and happy. We have a bit of a Zoo here and everyone one of them from the 4 dogs, the 2 cats and the hedge hog have all their needs taken care of and are healthy and happy. I will not buy anything until I've researched it and made sure it was the proper product to do the job it was meant to do. Which is why I started this thread. Cheap might have been the wrong word, I was looking for safe options for the temporary setup that would hopefully be cost effective for the two months they would be used.
