First snake!! :D

I just got my stimson python today

I'm just curious... my heat mat is only going between 25 - 28 degrees, it is on its highest setting and placed 1/3rd underneath the clickclack.

Do i need a better heat mat or better thermometre? Thanks heaps.

EDIT: The thermometre is just above the heat mat, and the other one is on the cooler side.

hey man!

try sitting the thermo on the inside on the click clack on the hot end 4 and hour and see wat it gets to ..and then try the cold end...remember the snake is sitting on the Heat mat..so the thermo sitting above it wont give u a very good reading...its only a heat matt not a heat light

Keep the warm end around 32....and cool end like 28..then he sould be a happy lil camper

hope this helps..

Yeah the heat mat is OUTSIDE of the clickclack underneath it.My little guy is SOOOO inquisitive. He's gone into his hide once, and apart from that he's been roaming all over the place. Very placid. And very pretty!

I'll get pics once i get a better camera here. Otherwise I'll have to resort to really bad webcam pictures.
