    Full Automation Suggestions?

    Hey guys! well it seams a year has passed so quickly since a good friend of mine gave me my beautiful slinky, because she was moving out of state. i knew nothing about snakes. but i believe i have come a long way and have learned a lot by talking to the vet and breeders that i have met. and I've come to love my snake immensely lol. so my question is I've been starting to read on full automation, Light, heat and humidity. so my question is what is a good system i can get to control the humidity light and heat? i currently have her daytime light on a 12 on and 12 off. but as summer approaches i would love to have everything electronically controlled. i just want her to have the the most comfortable environment. so any suggestions would be awesome. heres her current set up. i can usually keep the humidity around 50 percent by misting it once in the morning then once i get home. thanks guys!!

    I'd suggest looking into buying a herpstat 4. It will automatically control everything you're describing including your light cycle and heat. If you decide to get a mister for you terrarium, it can control that too. Look it up.

    Thanks, I've been trying to do some research to figure out the differences between all of them!

    Re: Full Automation Suggestions?

    I suggested a herp 4 just because you look like you have multiple heat lamps and maybe a heat mat?

    You can always try to find one used. I got mine here used for $250. Check fauna classifieds and kingsnake too.

    Ah Roger, i just have the lamps. she has had just lamps for 5 years, i like the heat mats but the reptile vet i talked to said that if that works for her not to change it. she's pretty large for a female so i just keep it the same.

    the next snake i get will use the mats. they seam a lot more efficient at heating the actual ground
