Hey guys!
Okay, here is there basics to the story of my first snake...
I have been researching about snakes and all of their requirements for a long while now (just on 8 months) and yesterday I finally bit the bullet and purchased one straight from a pet store. Yes - it was overpriced... In fact, if I saw this price on a thread on here I would close that thread pretty quickly, but I couldn't resist... She is just so stunning! And I don't necessarily have anything I NEED to spend money on, so I don't really have a 'budget.'
As a result of yesterday, I highly recommend 'Pet Superstore' in the Logan Hyperdome as they were extremely helpful and have a lot of knowledge about their reptiles. The purchase list of yesterday includes:
... Reptile One Suburra Vivarium (600x450x480)
... Ceramic Screw Socket
... 75 Watt Heat Bulb
... 7 Pinkie Mice
... I And my precious beauty... An Alice Springs Stimson Python! Named Alice! (I wonder where I got that name from?)
Anyway, as I speak (type) she is in her half egg carton hide in her click clack, which is positioned inside the vivarium so that the temperature ranges from 28-32 degrees.
So finally, these are my questions...
Is this the best way to have the click clack setup, or would I be better off with a heat mat?
How long should I wait until I move her into her vivarium (what size should she be to be comfortable in the stated vivarium)? She was four months old yesterday.
Thanks,
Harley
