Hi, I just bought my snake today and I'm super worried about the temperature in his cage. I bought an under tank heater but that only got the so called "warm side" up to 78 degrees. I moved my desk lamp over and placed it directly on to the cage and that raised the temperature to 83 degrees, though I'm not sure how accurate my thermometer is. I also threw a blanket on top of the cage hoping that might help stop any possible drafts from the window. I just ordered a heat lamp online that will be here in a few days but I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions on how to get the temperature up before then. I'm super worried and I don't want my new baby to be freezing. Thank you!
P.S. What should I clean the cage with?
