    YEa I would. That way you could get the temps and humidity just right. I'm getting a BP on the 1st and I plugged all her stuff in already and been adjusting as needed.

    Re: When should i...

    I let my tanks run for about one and a half to two weeks to get the temps and humidity stabile prior to my new addations getting in them. This allows you to tinker with them over a number of days and get it just right.

    Hope this helps

    yup, it helps me a lot. The temps are coming along nicely, i have to tweak it a little bit, but that is pretty much a given for a new enclosure.

    Re: When should i...

    It takes about a day for everything to settle.... I had to learn this the hard way, unfortunately. I had too little holes and I was constantly taking the poor guy out to adjust the humidity.. Talk about a grumpy snake! Gooood luck!
