Roe progression thread!

[dakski]

Thank you guys! I agree, was defiantly a rollercoaster! But her temps are great, and she's great! I should've made it clearer that she ate overnight lol. I will certainly get a much larger tank for her over time. BCI's are slow growers, so I do have time to save. I want to get something really nice for her! She will be a big girl, so a nice big viv for her would be wonderful. She is in only a 10gal now, but that is because her tank was meant to be for a hognose! So DEFINATLY upgrading soon. My bp May needs a bigger tank here soon so ill probably give Mays 20gal to Roe (for the time being). But yes, I am actually pretty ecxited to do some tank shopping for her! Her tempratures have been staying where they are.


But... if you know me I'm always gonna have another question! Roe has two lights on her tank, one normal light and one with a dimmer. I had the dimmer on the cool side on low to keep it warm and the normal light on the warm side (does that make sense?). So I usually just turned off normal light at night so dimmer would keep tank warm and be low light so she can rest. But now, so temps are ok, I have dimmer on hot side and normal on cool side. Dimmer is all the way up. What do I turn off tonight? I want it to stay warm, but I want her to be able to sleep!

But thank you so much guys. I was kinda freaking out tbh but everyone helped me get though it! I love this forum so much!

Replace the light with either a red bulb of the same wattage or a ceramic heat emitter of the same wattage.

Red bulbs are like moonlight to snakes and CHE give off no light.

Ideally, heat and light would be separate. Difficult in a small tank.

I have flourescent bulbs in my tanks for light and RHP and two separate UT heat sources. One for warm side with RHP and one for cool side.

I have nothing for night lights but the heaters run all the time.

I turn on a low light in the room for feeding so I can see what I am doing. The snakes do fine with very little light at night.

Not sure what to do tonight though.
