Glad youve finally decided to come to the dark side lol. I keep all my balls in a rack. Much better imo!
1. No. I measure temps with a temp gun.
2. No. I dont have a humidity gauge. When my bps go into shed i mist their hot sides once a day. Perfect sheds every time.
3. Any room is definetly not fine bc some rooms have drafts and get colder than other rooms. For me personally, I would say the average ambient air temp in my room at any given time is about 75 degrees.
4. Either or is fine. Theres a pro and con to both ways. If you wire it individually then you'll have more plugs to plug into a power strip (not a huge deal i guess). But if one strip goes bad or malfunctions then you just take out that one strip and replace it and only one of your snakes doesnt have heat for a little while. If you have one strip its easier to set up, only one plug, and if it goes bad you just replace the one big strip. But if it does malfunction, then all your snakes are without heat for however long. Theres pros and cons to both sides and ultimately its your choice.![]()
