    Re: Heating and Humidity questions for new BP

The heat pads are definitely not hot enough to cause burns. I have a thermostat for the whole room and aren't able to install one just for the tank. Usually the room is 70F but I have no problem keeping it 75F if it'll help the tank temperatures. I'll try to post a picture when I'm able :]
    Your heat sources need to be regulated by thermostats. Excessive heat can kill your snake very quickly. You should measure your temps with an infrared heat gun. This will tell you the temp of the surfaces that your snake is coming in contact with. A BP should not have access to temps above 90F. Raising the ambient temp in the room will help.
