I keep a tile under my basking spot as it retains heat and we know that animals in the wild will bask on warm surfaces at night. How many people have no form of heat retention for their animals to lay on at night?
but even if u didnt have a heat pad , and a snake tryed to burrow/hide wouldnt it still get stressed?another thing dont use heat pads because reptiles try to hide when hot. so if they cant burrow/hide they will stress.
ok if u say so , so what was your point ?you missed the point completely
that would be true if the entire floor was heated , but 99.9999999% of pepole dont heat the entire floor .reptiles retreat from heat when they no longer require it gernerally to hide in any shape or form. so since 99.9999999% of people have floor positioned hides a heat pad would ruin their chances to escape.
must doso colin and a few other people that have used his idea of suspended hides make up that 0.0000001%
+1What about after a feed? is 12 hour heat a day enough to help the snakes digest their food? or do you keep it on for 24 hours for say around 3 days or so?
yeah i run the digital type from bunnings .A simple Arlec timer from Kmart would do the job.
Altho you can get digital ones from bunnings for cheaper I think.
snakelove yes. in the wild digesting snakes dont use24/7 heating, yet still somehow manage to cope.
yeah i run the digital type from bunnings .
Snakelove ,
i feed my snakes at 11am[ or there abouts] so they have a good few hours [ heat turns off at 8pm] to start digesting there food , and heat comes turns back on at 6am .
