Hi Snake Brainstrust,
We have a lovely Spotted Python at home. She is been with us for nearly a year (adopted from a previous home where she was no longer wanted). We need to organise a new heating system for her. Can anyone recommend a thermostat/heat setup? In her enclosure, she currently has a black heat lamp that is connected to an outdated thermostat. We also have a separate thermometer and hygrometer to monitor the enclosure. At night, the light and heat go off (on a timer). Currently, it's winter in Australia so it gets quite cool at night (probably down to 16 degrees inside) which is too cold for her. Recently we have noticed that the heat lamp is not heating the enclosure as it used to. So, it could be as simple as replacing the lamp but the thermostat doesn't have a nighttime setting and no safety off, etc. So we would like to upgrade. Also, have no experience with heat mats. Something to add? Would be grateful for any advice. With thanks in advance
