All my snakes have belly heat except for her. Her heat mat is on the back of her cage, and she cuddles it when necessary to digest a meal. |

Re: Heat tape question. Advice needed.
Poor Veronica. She's getting belly heat AND overhead heat right now in her 75 gallon. I wonder if it's too much for her. The temps are fine.

Their ability to adapt is what kept them around virtually unchanged for so long.

Re: Heat tape question. Advice needed.
Thanks, I just worry so much about my babies. I want their new homes to be perfect. Fortunately, their heaters don't cost as much as the new furnace I had to buy for the condo *cough2monthsincomecough*

Re: Heat tape question. Advice needed.
Would anyone recommend putting a UV light in their enclosures, so long as it didn't provide heat.. then use the tape on the bottom for belly heat? I've been thinking of doing this to help with a consistant day/night cycle.
