did u know that if u put a uth on the bottom of the glass and a hot lamp is directly on it if its gets heated enough and cold water touches it then it will crack the glass?

The under tank heater is made to go under the tank. So the snake can get belly heat. Helps break up the mouse/rat better I guess. If you do move it to under the tank the tank should be raised up atleast 1/8 of an inch. Thats just so there is air moving around and all that.

is the digital thermometer better? or does it matter?

[ama1997]

DIGITAL THERMOMETER AND HYGROMETER W/ PROBES

The link I gave you for the thermometer and Hygrometer. Like said if you go to the local walmart you can get one that does the same thing for a bit cheaper. Im sure they work just the same. I have the one from walmart only doesnt have 2 probes.

now im excited. i cant wait to get one. i just want everything to be perfect. i have another question.....sorry lol......is there any vitamin supplement that i need to use? i see all these sprays and vitamins for water? whats the deal on those?

[ama1997]

Ive never used any of them. Are they good or safe for your animal. I dont know someone else might be able to help out with that one a bit more than me. Pet shops most of the time will try and sell you as much as they can just to make the sale. Even if the pet doesnt really need it. Id be careful of that if someone is trying to sell you this and that id check on here first just so you dont spend way more than you need to.

Yah the digital it takes the temp at the probe where ever you put the probe so much better. The stick on ones I think they take the temp of the glass.

yeah the guy at peto was tryin to push it all on me. but i try not to be so gullable lol i just want him to be healthy of his own accord and not stress him with unneeded things of that sort. i was surprised when i got him. he is very curious and never retreats to his ball, so i take that as a sign of at least slight if not more happiness and dont want to tamper with it

[i_love_my_hardwin]

i can tell that this stick on one is really....ill considered on my part. i should have known better either way. its...yeah....unaccurate for what he requires
