I wasnt sure where to place this thread, since i have a few general questions about various topics...

1. With the overhead lamp i am using, my humidity issues have returned, so i am looking for an alternative heat source. I saw those heat panels, and although they are clearly the best option, i dont have that kind of cash right now. I saw a thread for heat tape, and that appeals to me, but i cant seem to find any place that sells it. Any other ideas? i tried the UTH and that fialed miserably.

2. I would like to change from feeding my snake stunned mice to live and alert. Is there any prep work i need for this? I usually just whack the mouse, then toss him in the feeding box. with live im aware i have to keep an eye on the mouse at all times.

3. The pet store just down the road from me changed owners and no longer carries live mice, and the others in my area only carry frozen. The closest spot with mice is about a 20 min drive, so i am debating to either breed a set of mice, or just buy a few at a time and feed them until its their time.

Thanks for reading.
