I used the stickied pvc and 20 long threads to get an idea of what I'll need in the future. I'd like to know if this is all the right stuff and everything I'll need.
I know not everyone likes glass tanks and it can be hard to get the humidity right for them.
I'd make sure it's up and running correctly before ever adding a BP though and eventually upgrade (after the BP grew) to an AP cage and get a nicer thermostat.
I hope this was the right place to post/that it's okay. It feels like a lot to look at.
- 10g glass tank -- Would a 20 long be a better option?
- Screen top (grreat choice reptile screen cover link)
- Screen Clips (zilla heavy duty screen clips link)
- UTH (ultratherm link)
- Thermostat (zoo med link OR hydrofarm link) -- Would like to know which one is best or if they're both fine. I'd prefer to order from LLLreptile since that's where I'd be getting other things.
- Thermometer w/ Probe (acu-rite indoor/outdoor thermometer link)
- 2 Hides (small black hide box link) -- Want to make sure the size would be good for the tank and for a small bp, although I'm not sure how to describe the size of what I'd be looking for.
I want to watch it growAlso really confused that they list it as not okay for BP hatchlings and then right below say ideal for BP hatchlings.
- Water Bowl (national geo mayan water dish link)
This is a confusing spot for me
- Heat Lamp (zilla regular ceramic dome lamp 8.5in link) -- Holds up to 150 watts, would this be enough for the bulb or CHE? I read it's good to have extra.
- Bulb (zilla night black heat incandescent spot bulb link) -- Is this the right thing for providing heat without putting off light? Just want to make sure the air would be warmp enough during winter. I live in GA if that helps.
OR
- Ceramic Heat Emitter (zilla CHE link) -- Same question as the bulb and which would be better? I assume this since it costs more.
- Lamp Dimmer (lutron credenza 300w link)
- Substrate (exo terra coco husk link)
Optional but very useful stuff?
- Scoop (zilla corner litter scoop link)
- Scale (pro scale 300gram pocket scale link) -- Could I just use our kitchen scale if putting the snake in a container that is only used for it? I know weighing them is important c:
- Spray Bottle (exo terra mini mister spray bottle link)
- Leafy Decor (exo terra abutilon silk jungle vines link)
Thank you, sorry for the length. Really do hope this was okay to post and it's not asking too much.
