Woops, sorry, I meant to answer that: because they are to young for belly heat...umbilicus and all...wind up frying the little buggers

Re: baby snake Husbandry
I've used belly heat for all of my babies, and they are definitely not fried. They can thermoregulate easily in a 6qt tub.
Back heat is used alot on baby racks because it's less expensive and less time consuming to manufacture, I am guessing.
Back heat CANNOT be used in a room that is not heated. It is not as efficient as belly heat.

Re: baby snake Husbandry
I'm not gonna lie, I've seen stuff for 20 dollars that looks darn similar at Mejier (like a Walmart, I'm not sure how widespread they are).
I mean, whats the difference between those, and the shelves at the store? The plastic seemed pretty thick (so you'd have to poke holes and such and there were no lids) but it was pretty well sealed at the top that looked like it could easily be clamped down.

Re: baby snake Husbandry
Hey Becky-
I was always told that belly heat was wrong for hatchlings, by some breeders and also some forum members. What temp do you have the stat set to? Is it lower than for older hatchlings?

Re: baby snake Husbandry
as long as you have the heat source on a set thermostat...there shouldnt be any chance of burning the babies

Re: baby snake Husbandry
Ambient room temps for me are around 83-84 depending on the time of day. Belly heat temps are 93-94. I control the baby racks with a Helix.
