Thank you for the ideas. I would use something like that portable heater. But this would be my first snake (since my parents aren't too keen on reptiles, I haven't been able to own one, even though I work with them), and I wouldn't need to worry about keeping a room at a constant temperature. I was also wanting something that i didn't have to monitor all the time. I work mornings and have school as well. And I don't want my parents to take care of an animal they don't like.
