Do you mean reostat, like a dimmer switch?


So you now have something to measure both the heat tape and the inside of the tub?

yes! yea i have one on the heat tape and i put one in the tub like 10 min ago

The reason I asked about your set up is because most young BPs are not prone to hunger strikes unless there is a problem with the husbandry. Very different for adult BPs, since they can be apt to stop eating at any time, and especially during breeding season.

With young BPs, it's usually a husbandry issue.

Thermostat will help settle your problems if the temps fluctuate too much it will cause the snake not to eat.


I set all my thermostats at 88-90 and i get a 88-90 in the tubs. Pickup a Temp gun to check temps in the tubs for fast readings.

My heat tape usually reads 89-92 but in the tubs its only 88-90.
