my question is do you guys think the t3 will be a decent size for both when they reach adult sizes.
also for those that have these cages do you get the correct temps with just the flexwatt they sell/install with the cages or do you have to add other heat sources to bump up the ambiant temps also. what thermostat do you recommend i was looking at a couple of brands called the herpstat or a helix any thoughts on these, should i run a seperate thermostat for each cage or one for both cages any suggestions on proper thermostat and heat source setup would be great.
thank you in advance for any and all thoughts and opinions it is appreciated.
I'm not familiar with Corn husbandry, but the T8 is recommended for Ball Pythons.
You can maintain temps pretty well with just flexwatt, but if your house does get too cold, you can purchase radiant heat panels from Animal Plastics. It just depends on your ambient temps at home.
The Herpstat 2 has two temp probes and can maintain two different enclosures at two different temps if you choose too. As I mentioned before, I'm not familiar with Corn needs, so if their temp range is similar to a Ball Python's, you can use a starter level Herpstat or other single probed thermostats to maintain both enclosures with a power strip.
