Temps

[ReptiNut]

The sticky-on-glass thermometers aren't accurate for ambient SNAKE temp needs. They're good only for the aquariums. (I've learned from personal experience and the good members here. ) The round analogs that stick on the glass that the pet stores push on you aren't accurate either.

Go to Wal-Mart or Fred Meyer/Home Depot or Lowe's and get an Acurite Indoor/Outdoor w/humidity. They're only about $11 and you get the hot, the cool AND the humidity, all in one unit. Preeeeetty SLICK!

Out of our 14 snakes, I'm using 8 acurites, and the rest are the digitals that are the temp/humidity in one unit (on the inside/cool) and a digital thermometer probe on the warm on the others...all little shoebox tubs. The tanks and biiiiiiig tubs are the acurites. Much more convenient.

If you don't have, or can't afford a thermostat, then you need to use a dimmer/rheostat to help get and keep the temps right.

Good luck! and let us know how it goes!
