I'm getting increasingly frustrated with my local pet shop because I think they've given me some dodgy advice. To start with they sold me a glass and metal tank and I've since read that wooden enclosures are best so I took that back and swapped it over for the one I have now. Then they sold me a heat rock which only got the enclosure to 22 degrees. I ended up taking that back for a refund also after I found out that they can fail and end up burning the snake.

I did have her in a small plastic tub for the first few days but I decided to put her straight into the larger enclosure after a few others told me that they choose to put their young snakes straight into larger enclosures. If I felt she was stresssed out in the bigger enclosure I would have put her back in the smaller one, but she seems fine. She's often outside of her hide and she and loves to sit out on the rock sunning herself under the light.

I'll drop into the store today and pick up a heat globe if they have one. I think she wanted to sell me one of those cause at first she was looking for a different type but they were out of stock so she sold me the one I have.
