One and a half year old snake, 50 grams?

[PitOnTheProwl]

Not to question your wisdom but, why would I need a lamp dimmer? My temps aren't hot enough, wouldn't that just escalate the problem?

And you are also suggesting dumping the tank and just using a sterilite tub? I've seen those everywhere, been thinking about it. Though I feel like he enjoys the comfort of his bedding and furniture, or is that just me.

What is the surface temperature of the glass where your heatmat is?

And yes, sell the tank on craigslist or one of your local facebook groups to offset the costs of changing.
