At the moment I am awaiting for a Stimson's Python hatchling. I have a large terrarium set up, but I have a small plastic box inside (about 40 x 25cms x 10cms). I have the one for my hatchling on a heat pad. The substrate is small reptile shop supplies chips. I have my waterbowl.
I have been monitoring the heat of the box with a Eco Tech Thermostat and I am getting the following average readings = H 34 C, and the cool end about 20-22 C. Are those temperatures OK for a new hatchling?
I also use a temperature gun, but I do not believe that it is very accurate as the readings that I am getting is showing the thermostat gives a reading of 34 C, and the gun gives 30 C. I may have to invest in another NEW temp gun.
I just need to know what is a good average to have in the box for the hatchling. I dont want to boil it, and I dont want to freeze it.....When I get it.
Many thanks.
