Does that make sense? If not, please feel free to ask. A properly controlled heat source is one of the most (if not THE most) critical things that you will do for your BP.
Yup that sounds good. And does this apply toward all types of snakes for example my corn. I currently have his probe on the bottom of the substrate should I move it to in-between the mat and glass?
