I have a wooden viv with a ceramic tile on top of a heat mat. I see people saying that any kind of sticky tape in a vivarium is bad. Is there another way I can stick the probe to the tile? Some sort of non toxic glue perhaps? I'm thinking I could put the probe between the heat mat and tile...

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...

Hey again! I am getting a children's python and would just like to know what everyone uses for heating. I know I want to use a heat mat but I am unsure how many watts and also if I need to get one with a thermostat attached, separate or to get a completely different thing to check temperatures...
