I knew I forgot to throw stuff in there. The wattage of my CHE is 120w. I actually did not pay for it. Luckily, I went to my mother's to help clean up christmas decorations and my step-dad had an extra one that he never used for his California king snake (Such a sweet little guy)
Also, I'm moving back upstairs till I move out. I spoke with my dad about it this morning, and he said it was fine since we probably wouldn't start working on the room again till summer. I just worry cause last night my basement bedroom got down to 40 degrees. And while I managed to keep warm, I don't want to risk my snake in any way.
So once I'm fully moved in upstairs, I'm going to see how that goes. The upstairs of our house has a substantial difference in temperature, so I'm hoping everything will go okay
Though, I do have another question. I live in northern Ohio. It does tend to get rather hot in the summer. 80-90 degrees. On those days, I plan to leave all his heating devices off. Would that be alright? I, of course, will be keeping a close eye on the thermometers in his tank, to make sure they don't go above the temp he needs. Also, I plan to make sure he has plenty of water to soak in and mist the cage often with cool water. Would this be okay for him?
I do not yet have a thermostat for my tank, but it's on my list for sure. I plan to buy it within the next 1-2 days. I was just waiting for my next paycheck before I do it, haha. Also, I do in fact have 2 thermometers. One for each side. Do I need 2 hydrometers? I only bought one for the whole tank cause i figured since it was a ten gallon, he'd only need one...
Also, all three of them are in fact digital and I do plan to by a temperature gun when I buy my thermostat.![]()
