It's a small viv I bought from petshop it has two glass floors where you slide the heat mat in between the two pieces of glass so no room to fit stat probe in as it's a thin gap just to get the mat in. It came with microclimate mat and mat stat , the viv is sold as purpose made for snakes ? Plus the other shop I'm getting the snake from also says I only need a heat mat ? Why is this general knowledge not correct? Also the viv has no way of attaching any sort of bulb, plus I've read a bulb will dry out the viv? Way to much contradicting info around! I've measured temps inside of hides and the hot side isn't a problem , the cool hide gets to around 76f? Is the ambient temp outside of the hides so important ? Within reason obviously?
thanks for the assistance
