temp

[matty1]

hi all wondering if any1 could help me , i was wondering wat temp should my tank be for my stimpsons python ?

 

[mrillusion]

30 to 32 degrees

 

[matty1]

cool and wat sort of watts light globe should i use

 

[mrillusion]

well that depends on how big the enclosure is

 

[Ned_fisch]

31-33 in the warm end and 25-28 in the cool end. The warm hide is fine to be around the 33-35 mark

 

[mrillusion]

is this your first snake and can u put up some pics of it and the enclosure love to see them

 

[Lewy]

Well u need to have a thermostat to control the temp at 32c

With a good thermostat u can use a 40-100 watt bulb depending on the area u are trying to warm

I use 100 watts infra red bulbs with a B1 thermostat

Are you using a thermometer to measure the temperature?
