Aiight I read it and got a good idea. I think for me it'd be easier to use a heating pad. The pad would go UNDER the container and not inside right? and if Im using the pad would I still need a source of light or no? and also if any of you have any idea if a hide will fit inside the container, along with a water dish and still leave the snake room? I'll need a biiiig container but I dont know how big they get.
