Hi All,
I am in the process of planning a conversion of an old corner TV unit for a Stimson python and am looking for some clarification on a few things.
The enclosure has a floor area of about 0.5 sq. m and a max volume around 0.3 cubic m.
What would be the minimum age need to be to be able to be placed in this enclosure?
I will be using a heat cord/tile setup on the floor. Any ideas on the size this tile would need to be? Wattage of the heat cord?
I read elsewhere that in colder climes a heat lamp should be used (Vic. northern country here). Given the winters here can potentially hit the -ve's, any idea of what sort of heat lamp would be suitable (the room where this enclosure will be located is in a colder part of the house and has the potential to drop into the low teens, particularly at night)?
For ventilation I am planning to have two inlets and one exhaust. Should placement of a vent over the heating tile be avoided?
From an aesthetic point of view has anyone had experience with the LED lighting fixtures available?
Looking forward to your responses.
