    Re: new stuff for my bp?

    People have been giving you great advice on things to buy and have been asking you questions and you have been ignoring them.
    So once again:
    Do you have any heat sources other then the lamp? If not you NEED to get an under tank heater and a way to control it, either a dimmer, rheostat or even better, a thermostat.

    Are you measuring your temperatures? From the picture, it looks like you are not. You mentioned you bought some "dial thermometers" so I presume those are the crappy stick on kinds that are very INACCURATE. Please go out and purchase a $15 accurite indoor outdoor thermometer. You can find these at home depot, lowes, or walmart.

    Get two identical hides. One for the cool side and one for the warm side (above the UTH).
    Please remember, a happy BP is a hiding BP. These are not display snakes. They spend 90% of their time in a hide. Make sure your hide has a small opening and the BP fits snugly inside.

    Feed your snake %10-15 of its body weight every 7-10 days. The meal should be about as thick as the thickest part of the BP
