temperature

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...

Hi all, I have 3 year old spotted python who has been having a 100w basking light on and off with a timer. The globe blows within the 3 month range. I was wondering if people have had success with a globe from bunnings on timer and if so, what bulb? He’s in a 60x90cm enclosure and has his...

I am currently setting up my 2x2x2 enclosure (btw will be upgrading to a bigger one when she’s older and bigger) for my new children’s python coming on Saturday , but I’m having trouble doing the temperature. The basking /hot side it 33 c and the cool side is 28-29. This is with a 50w heating...

I have a heat mat that’s getting to around 30° but the ambient temp is quite low, about 17°, and lower in the room. She has been out and about but we’ve also been running the heater on 20°, without it it gets very cold during the day and night, around 5° in the room. She’s a 4m old childrens...

Hi, I’m trying to set up the heating for my enclosure before my snake arrives but I’m having trouble and am stressing about it. She will be roughly 4mo, childrens python. She will be in a 7.9L click clack with aspen, leaves and two hides and a water dish. At first I got a heat mat, last...

7/08/2022 - I got a childrens python yesterday (under 1 yr old). After I set her enclosure up she seemed curious and would go the little hutches I set up in the case (there’s two) but I did have to move a hutch twice at different points to get to her/ check the temperature and now today she...

Hi, I picked my first snake on Sunday, a 5-6 month old BHP, I bought a 4ft melamine enclosure with has twin 75w heating lamps, analog thermostat, UVA tube and it has one vent at the rear of the enclosure and 2 vents at the front. I’m using a digital thermometer with a probe, which is placed...

Hi everyone, I’m getting set up for a Stimsons Python hatchie and having fun comparing and weighing up all the different information. I’ve settled on the Reptile one starter kit, as I prefer it to the plastic lunchbox systema option and think I’ve heard enough good reports to be confident it’s...

Hey all. So I'm new to the forum and sorta new to snake keeping. This one's a bit of a saga that's been going on for 6 months. First up I own a marbled children's python, she's just about ten months old now. I have her housed in a 3x2x2ft melamine enclosure with hardwired ceramic fittings for...

Hi there :) I've very recently bought a pygmy bearded dragon (around four days ago) and I'm not sure what to do with a few things and i have a few questions... I'm not sure how old she is? the people I got her from said that she was born late December to early January maybe, but she is quite...

Hi all, As of yesterday, I am caring for a 4-mo. old Woma python. She's lovely. I have a small Exo-Terra breeder box set up with a heat mat, two hides, and a MicroClimate B1 thermostat for her. I don't want to keep bothering her for temperature readings but the sensor on the thermostat is in...

Help please, Got a Yearling Children's Python and I've only had him for a few weeks and he hasn't eaten yet. I got a Thermo Hygrostat connected to Heat Mat, Heat Lamp and UV Light. The Thermo was set up at the pet shop that sells snakes but I don't know if the temperatures are right (the guy...

I think my jungle carpet python may have scale rot and/or vicious scale burn? He is very rough to touch on his underside, especially on the end of his tail - His scales look totally mutilated, "healthier" parts are bright red/pink. I think he may have gotten ontop of his heating lamp that has a...

I've had this ecotech advanced reptile thermostat for a while, but I've never really needed the heat at night because the temperature where I live hasn't really been cool enough to drop below 18°C for my bearded dragons at night. I have the temperature set to 38°C in the day time, and at night I...
