heat

I’m looking after a friend’s children’s python. I think there’s an issue with either the thermostat or bulb, or both. It has been tripping the circuit, and now the heat/cool function isn't working and the tank was overheating. I can’t find a manual for the thermostat online, only some set up...

Just wondering what others do for wintertime temps. I know many people leave heat on overnight, and many don’t provide any heat at night. My jungle python is currently sitting at 16° at 12am tonight which is freaking me out, I’m looking into thermostats but haven’t gotten him a new one since his...

Hey guys what is your heat tile set to on your thermostat? Best temp for a stimpsons pythons heat tile

I’ve seen some people on Facebook saying that the Infared heat lights are terrible. Just wanted everyone’s opinion. I have a 3 year old Darwin Carpet who seems fine with it. I’ve also had a beardie for about 11 years and he’s been fine with it his whole life. So basically what I’m asking is if...

hello all :)) so sorry for the long post 2 questions, I haven’t had snakes for a very long time and I’m going through my first winter with my babies (my first python I got in December, second in February) 1. My first carpet is 1yr old in October - she has always been a perfect feeder, eats...

My boys heat lamp, ceramic light fixture and thermostat blew a few weeks ago, so I’ve managed to rig a heat mat up in the enclosure. There’s a tile on top of it and newspaper, but part of the heat mat goes to 44° and the other sits at around 34°. Is this ok til I get a new thermostat? I can try...

So I’ve been using a reptile one heating lamp bulb and it just blew (only 3 weeks of having it). After reading reviews apparently this is super common with all reptile one bulbs. Does anyone have any recommendations for good heat lamp bulbs? I use a heat mat as well of course but would like the...

I currently have a 120cmLx120cmHx60cmW tank for my crested and currently using 250w basking light and 250w ceramic light at night for heat. But as it is very cold this past week , his basking spot isn’t getting over 35 and average temp is around 27. He is only 7 months old. Any suggestions to...

I have an exoterra 150W heat lamp. It’s a black one that emits no light. It’s perfect for my snakes temp as he sits at 30-33 degrees under it. But I noticed tonight that it glows red when heated up. I don’t know what to do about this? Should I be worried? It makes me concerned. I will attach a...

Hey all, long time since I’ve posted. Got my boy (originally thought he was a girl until he shed sperm plugs lol) into his new enclosure! First time using heat lamps instead of heat mats. His branch was sitting at 23°, obviously too cool, so we’ve moved the branch closer to the enclosure and...

I’m looking at getting a snake, potentially a woma python currently. After doing some research I’ve found articles recommending lamps from above but noticed in the Facebook groups heat mats are more so recommended. Can you please tell me what the contributing factors are when choosing a heat...

Hi, So I got a Yearling Children's Python. I got a Thermo Hygrostat connected to a Heat Lamp, temperature set to 30°C. But it says 22°C where the Temperature Probe is. I have the probe set under where the heat light is, same level as the top of his hide (the hide is big enough for him to bask...

Hi all, I’ve been having issues getting the hot side of my enclosure to actually get anywhere near hot. I’m going to be getting a Stimson and so I need the hot side to be around 32 degrees obviously, but I can’t get it above 22. I have a very large enclosure (90cm long 45cm deep and 60cm tall)...

So ATM I'm currently converting an old Balinese cabinet into an enclosure for a GTP. The enclosure dimensions are 800 high X 1000 wide X 600 deep. Any suggestions on where to get a heat panel big enough for the enclosure and the best way to supply UV in the cabinet? All while trying to do it as...

Hey guys, I have a 900mm(W) x 400mm(H) x 400mm(D) enclosure that I am going to set up for my little woma python. He isn't ready to move out of the click clack yet, but it won't be too long now. How do I set this up? I was told to use a heat cord, what wattage heat cord do I use and how do I put...
