I used to use ceramic heaters to heat a large cage - they said on the packaging that unregulated they could reach 700 degrees c. Hopefully yours won't - but they definately will need to be some way of adjusting the heat output if you intend to keep the snakes enclosure right.

yep its called a digi thermometer for my snakes cage i have these

1 100 watt basking
1 75 watt basking light
1 100 watt red light
1 60 watt black
1 75 watt black
1 100 watt black
uth

now depending on the time of day and temp outside which lately has been -30 to -40 so the house is 60 to 55 i switched to the 100 watt red and the 75 watt black... and waaaaaaaa pow perfect temps

all in all the temp is no concern for me i can make it w/e temp i want and keep it there

now what im saying is ide rather buy the che then buy the thing i have to drill holes in my glass cage to use it... and then have to buy something else just to make sure that when my snake lays next to it it doesnt cook him (my snake will lay next to the glass)< hes weird i ges

the heat emiters can be hung from my ceiling at w/e height needed to give the cage the perfect temp simple
no buying a diamond bit and a drill and then a heat reg for the pad lol

y make things harder when really its easy


for my skink i have
3 100 watt basking lights
1 75 watt basking red night light
1 100 watt black

note his cage is completely open its a wire cage with a plastic bottom
cage temp 85 in his hide and 90 to 100 in basking temps

pretty much what im saying is humidity and tempature is not my issue im just new at owning a snake and certain things i get worried about... but like alot of you have said... if he is eating drinking and pooping he is fine

ate today 1 adult mouse fiance was ever so kind as to video it lol


so thanks for the help ill post when/if something goes wrong but i dont think it will hes getting his dirt n bark tomorrow hopefully the mite issue is gone
