I would look into other heat recomended here, especially since you plan on getting set up ready before hand. At the moment I have a zoomeds for lizards and snake, yeah they work, but honestly I will be switching over. For all these pets they were rehomed with me and that is what they had when we got them. We have made good use of of them, but I feel they only provide just an adequate job. They seem kind of spotty on heat, and I feel like I am constantly checking them, hotter in the middle, not so much on the edges, etc.


Good luck and welcome, this place pretty much saved me and snake. I had to rush to get his set up stablized and he was a bit of mess. Now a bit longer than a month later, I have nice healthy ball. BTW I am just north of dallas.
