    Help with getting heating supplies.

    My heat bulb died, so my Corn Snake is now in need of heat. I need to quickly get something for it.

    Could somebody send me links to good products for heating, like a combination of an under tank heater and a thermostat to regulate it so that it does not become too hot?

    Where are you located and what are the temps of your house? In temperate climates, corns do well at room temperature. I keep mine at room temp year round with no issues.

    Though Reptile Basics has flexwatt and UTH for good prices.

    I live in New York. The temperatures in my room tend to fluctuate. Is there any way to cool down an enclosure so that my snake can regulate it's temperature should room temperature in my room get too hot?

    How warm is your room getting? During the summer, my "snake room" (aka extra bedroom) gets up into the low 80s. I don't cool it off other than the ceiling fan and house a/c. They do just fine. So long as your room isn't getting above 82 or so (an hour or two up to 85 is OK) or getting below 65, they will be just fine.

    Keep in mind these guys don't get perfect temperatures in the wild, so a little variance isn't going to hurt them one bit. Now don't get me wrong, you must be mindful of temps, but a little fluctuation one way or the other just isn't a big deal.
