Hi everyone
I was hoping someone might be able to help me.
I am having an enclosure build the same as this one in the pic with a habistat repti radiator on a shelf etc.
The problem I have is winter. With being in Melbourne I find when the snakes move down on to the bottom of their enclosure sometimes they get too cold and they cant make it back up to the top. I come out in the morning to a very col snake I have to put back up on their shelf.
What we want to do is put some heat cord in the bottom of the enclosure by routing the wood from underneath and running the cord in the routing so that we can create a warm patch and some warmth. Just for use when the weather gets cold.
What we wanted to ask was is there a heat cord that people would recommend and do I need to attach a thermostat to it ? If I get a thermostat what sort should i get ?
Also I need to get a light cage for the UV fluro lights I have. I dont have them on too often but like to have them so I can put them on every now and then to give my snakes some UV. I know the general consensus is they don't need it but I still think it is a good idea. Are there light cages out there people would recommend.
Kind Regards and thanks
