After weeks and weeks of eager (and impatient) waiting on licence and permits etc... we finally got our first snakes tonight! 2 diamond python hatchies.
They finally arrived about 11pm (7 hours late, thanks AAE) i put them in their seperate enclosures and was happily watching them explore their new home when i noticed a spark coming from near the tanks. The heat mat has a hole burned into it and i dont know how the hell i can keep my new babies warm tonight untill i can do something tomorrow. Luckily i was watching and saw it before it burnt the snake or melted the tank.
Please help... any ideas?
I dont have any other heat mats or cords, i live in melbourne and its been freezing at nights. I can leave my ducted on but they wont have the warm side cold side.
Oh, by the way, i'd had the tanks set up for roughly 12 hours before i put the snakes in, snakes where only in 20 mins tops
