Heating with Loose Substrate - Surface Temp Question

[alittleFREE]

No, sadly, sometimes snakes fall asleep (or just seem to be clueless?) & do get burned...I'd stick to 90-92* max, personally. If you need more warmth than that,
I'd add it from overhead.

Yeah, it’s always weird to me how they let themselves get burned. I wonder if they don’t have the same type of pain receptors we have on our skin that tell us when something is too hotetc.

Thanks. I’ll lower it a little so it doesn’t get so hot on the surface. The top of the substrate will be a little cooler but like you said, if she needs extra heat she can burrow a little.

I think you misunderstood what Craig was saying. My thermostats are typically set at around 96 to reach a hot spot UNDERNEATH the substrate of around 89-90, even if it is not that hot on top of the substrate its fine

Yeah, I did. I understand now though. Thanks for clarifying!
