    Re: temperature of heating pad

Not even with an aluminium foil tape..It keeps falling off everyday, even when I attempt to stick it in the first place, it still leaves a gap between the tub and the pad therefore I had to keep it inside and cover it with substrate, I wouldn't have to worry about water spilling on it because the water bowl is all the way on the other end of the tub and i made sure it does not spill over to the pad.. but that still does not answer my question, how hot should it be in order for it not to burn the snake if she buries herself under the substrate (which she doesn't..but just in case) and also makes the substrate pretty warm?
    No NO NO!!!!
    Clean the outside of the tub with rubbing alcohol and the foil tape will stick.
    Pads DO NOT GO INSIDE THE TANK!!!!! PERIOD.
    You need to read everything now that it is merged together because all the correct answers are there.
    Now I have never said this before but you either need to get that snake to a vet for treatment or give it to someone who can treat it.
    You are posting a lot but not reading or comprehending what anyone has told you.
    This is what you are coming due for:
