Hey guys, kinda new here haha.
I just purchase a new hatch ling after my 18 year old spotty passed away. So this is my first hatchling.
So I was just wanting to know about his/her (Thinking boy but cant be sure) temporary tank. Hes currently just in a critter keeper. You know the ones you can put hermit crabs and things in. With a small heat mat under the cage. He just settled down so I don't wanna move him but its a 5 watt. Is that too low? I think it might be. I have a 15 liter plastic tub for him once he settles a bit more. Although he seems to have settled in great, hes not biting me at all like he was in the shop xD And I'm trying not to get him out too much, but when he comes out hes into exploring mode which is fantastic, He has a great temperament ^_^ Hes a 100% HET albino. For 160 bucks from amazing amazon . ANYWAY Now with the tub, would it be better, to cut a large square out of the top and cover it with mesh and just use a light? I put my hand on the spot where he sits and it wasn't overly warm, but just enough warm that you could tell it wasn't cold if that makes sense. I took his hide out just because he was sitting on it and not on the warmth of where the heat was. When I got him out he was a little cold. Sorry if I'm doing everything wrongly, I want to give this guhy the best chance I can be a beautiful happy little snake ^_^
I haven't named him yet but here is the little guy
