  • i got my corn on just a mat, she seems fine

  • Does it matter how big the light? I had one for my hermit crab a bit bigger than that one, could I use it?

    PLZ RESPOND

  • @lulugal31 i'm not real experienced with snakes but a store associate at petsmart said you don't want to put the water near any heat source. not sure if that's true or not. just what i was told.

  • WHAT TIPE HEAT BULD IS IT LOOK LIKE

  • do they need uvb anytime

  • today i got my corn. its a few months old, buti have a heating lamp and a tiny heat mat. i put the heating mat under its hide, but the guy said to put theheating lamp (it doesnt have a light its only heat) over the water. something about humitiy. is that ok because ususally they dont say that. and wen i go to sleep tonight should i leave it on or off (the mat is tiny) please answer.

  • heat mats are fine as the only heat source unless you have a cold house also never use any heating equipment without a thermostat for your safety as much as the snakes

  • @YamoondoTheGamer I find a red heat bulb (make sure snake can't reach it) and put it on a 10/12 hour timer.

  • @techgeek135

    No, do not leave the lights on all night. It could cause over heating, and snakes do sleep believe it or not and they do not need light. That's why you should have a heat mat at the bottom of the cage to regulate the temp. :)

  • Do you leave the light on at night?
