"The guy in the petstore says " that would be where you stop listening lol.Originally Posted by P5YCHO1192
Thanks guysi just got the stuff today ,aspen,heat mat,leaves for cover,2x hides and a waterdish also a thermometer but can you clear something up for me though ? The guy in the petstore says i dont need a thermostat and i also dont need a hygrometer...to give you an idea>>>> the heat mat is an ultratherm 6x11 which is fine for the time being (in size i mean).
Also i wont be getting the snake for a few weeks as the only two babies in there are being force-fed so if they dont eat by themselves im going to order in another one and make sure he/she eats before i get it.I have a big waterdish so humidity should be no problem and i'll mist everyday i can upload pics soon if you like ...
if you're using a plastic enclosure especially a thermostat is an absolute necessity.
Its always best to start off with a healthy baby. You can get a captive bred baby from a breeder for way less than what you'll pay at the petstore. I cant see your user info from the reply window here, but if there are any shows near you you can find normals ranging from 10-25 dollars, plus the breeder or broker is there to actually give you some info on them.
even if you'd get a baby shipped to you, it will be about the same cost as one from petsmartco.
hope this helps
