Sorry , just seen this .Originally Posted by SPIDERBALL
Its done. I know thermostat is on Celsius. I know how to convert. The pole is in there because he occasionally likes to climb. I like it. Have to get 3 more.
Is this your first ever snake ?
Have you got the snake yet or is this one you've got your eyes on ?
Also is this a provisional set up ?
Either way ... We could do with a lot more detailed info on the set up and snake and a few better photos ...
Age - size of snake .
Size of Viv
Ceramic bulb presumably - is it regulated by a thermostat .
The ceramic should be situated at one end or the other not in the middle as it looks to be ...
Temps warm side , temps cool side .
Have you got thermometers with wired probes as those stick-on ones are not suitable for the surface temps you need to know . They only give very approximate ambient air temps .
Ideally needs two identical , appropriately sized hides . One on the warm side , warm in the cool side . Also the one you have isn't really suitable for snakes as they don't offer enough security , having two openings and easily moved around . They prefer a one with one opening and the hide must not to be too large .
Ideally you need a few more branches / poles in there ( you touched on that matter I know , plus some fake plastic/silk plants / foliage from he local dollar/pound store .
On the face of it I'd advise you do a lot more research .
