So . . .I got me a Brazilian Rainbow Boa . . .

[The Serpent Merchant]

If I order two lights, do they space them out for the divider? And does the actual light bulb come with the set-up?

Thanks for all the help. You will have my two snakes living life like a boss. I'm going to go with the T8. The sooner the better for my BRB and her humidity needs. Will those thermostat's suffice on Amazon (the cheaper ones?). I'm already dropping close to $400 on this set-up now, and will eventually have to buy another one for the BRB when it out grows it's section....which brings me to my next question.

When it's time to take the divider out and give each snake their own set-up. Can the flexwatt belly heat be removed? Or is it a one time stick em type of deal like it is with the zoomed UTH? I'm asking because you said to place it in the middle for the two snakes in one tank w/divider.

when you order 2 lights they are spaced so that you can use a divider, and yes they do come with the bulbs (18" T8 tubes)

Here you can see 2 sides of the same cage (shows the light spacing)





and together:



the hydrofarm thermostats will work. eventually (in a year or so) I would upgrade to something like a herpstat though

Flexwatt doesn't have any adhesive on it. it has to be taped to the bottom of the cage (with the supplied foil tape) it can be removed and reapplied. the tape will have to be replaced... you can get it at most hardware stores or even Walmart. (make sure when you order the cage that you ask them to put a second thermostat probe slot in the middle of the cage for use with the divider.

This picture shows the flexwatt taped to the bottom of the cage set up for use with a divider. You can see the outline and thermostat probe slot on the side for use without a divider
