I'm looking for sub-adult/adult mexican black king and western hognose in time for xmas, but it's looking more likely I'll have to go for hatchlings.
I was thinking two faunariums, kept inside the viv on a ('statted) heatmat, but am a little unsure how to best gauge the temps inside the faunariums, any tips?
I'll put the stat probe directly on the heatmat (on top of the false bottom), and have both boxes positioned about the same.
Also, what size faunarium box? I was thinking the large flat type, paper towel as substrate and half a coconut each end for hides?
And lastly, what size should hatchlings bee before moving them into a 2x18x18?
Thanks (and apologies in advance if the topic has been done to death before, I'm a newbie)
