As far as I know this is one of the best thermostats. This one specifically controls two heat sources. The jump-starts only control one heat source but you could buy two thermostats.

Yea, that one is way too expensive for me, I'd rather just buy 2 of the other one.

i read about a thread that spoke of thermostats (for pythons, not lizards!) before buying the pythons (not in this forum) that everyone was saying there was no need to worry about buying a thermostat if the temps are fine. So after reading that I figured I wouldn't buy it but now all of you insist on me getting one. So, I'm sort of confused. I'll buy the thing anyway, I just don't understand why there's so many opposing views if it really is (apparently) necessary. I can find that link of the thread f you guys want to see it.

I also noticed most people usually don't put much more than 1 hide in a snake's tub. I'd put plants in them but I don't have any at the moment, just a lot of hides. Besides, the female's tank is as crammed as I could possibly make it, just minus any plants.

At night I cover the female's tank with a towel (by the walls, it doesn't cover the lid. I use heavy books and place them on top) so she doesn't see anything outside if that helps with making her feel safe. I don't with the male since he's already in the closet with the doors closed, he's not gonna see anything pass by in there.
