he's gorgeous m8!! watch the woodchips when u feed him tho... can cause big probs if he swallows 1.

Nope...this section is just fine

Do you have a picture of the full setup? You may want to change it.

Glass tanks aren't great for maintaining or reaching the required temperatures...and that heat mat won't do a great deal outside the tank on the wall.

Heat mats on heat what comes into contact with them so they don't boost the ambient air temps. What temps are you getting in there at the moment?

Is that a heat lamp providing the light, or just a UV or energy saving etc?

Where is the probe for the thermostat with the heat mat, as ideally you want in against the wall up against the mat...but this could prove very difficult, hense being best on the floor.

Nice snake

yeah i got a few peeps who told me that, so i took him out and put him in a old ice cream tub, and he gently takes them from me which im very happy about. then i just put the tub in and let him come back out himself.

thanx for your info, yeah ive got a heat lamp with heat mat on same side (tank is only 18 inch not to big) on the cool side it's about 80-85f and on the hot side it's 90f any advice is brill as i'd like to expand my collection much later on. and thanx for the welcome guy's.

Is the heat lamp guarded?

You shouldn't really need a heat lamp AND heat mat at one end AND a heat mat at the other too...

Ideally a heat lamp will suffice.

PLUS...it must have cost a small fortune in thermostats for those three heat sources!

yeah he looks lovely he is an amel morph you shouldnt need the mat along with a lamp as said it should be sufficiant enough on its ownoh an welcome to the forums
