Few questions ?

[I<3Dreamsicles]

The UTH plugs into the lamp dimmer then that plugs into the wall. you then just keep tweaking the slider till you get the temps right.

You should really wait a week before you handle him. It's ok to hold him for a minute or two before you put him in the tank for the first time. But once he's in there you need to be patient (believe me i know how hard it is lol)

Ok, so its basically like a lamp timer except for temps not time. lol.
A week!!! haha i guess thats ok. Since I already set up my tank, im gonna see how long i can go with out having my mom find out that theres actually a snake in there hehehehe.

- Shes going on a camping trip for a few days and comming back the same day I get my snake, but later. And if im not holding it, shell probably just stay in the hide.
