Dude,It's really very simple.
- tank
- dome for a heat bulb ( I use a double dome,one bulb for night,one for day)
- 2 hides( one hot side one cool side)( I use only one hide, hot side)
- UTH
- hydrofarm thermostat ( for UTH mat)
-thermometer with probe to monitor he UTH
-wet rags covering 80% top of screen
- an analog hygrometer ( is perfectly fine)
-water bowl
Done,it's that simple,that's my set up. My snakes eat and shed great. Don't drive your self crazy,ppl here will make your head spin with what to get and what to do. It's not complicated. I know ppl who do way less than I do.
keep your hot side 86-90,humidity 40-60 and 60-80 while in shed,hot spot round 90-92.
if u want details on how to set this tank up,in box me,I'll be glad to help
As for food,my guys were Eating rat pups at about 110 grams and up until the hoppers. Pinks are a waste to small.
