If I put a heat lamp on my snake enclosures with a timer, it may get way too hot in there!?
Thank you!
Of course!
Nice topic, what kind of stilts do you use for your enclosures and would a heat gun also help in regulating the heat in the enclosure?
A heat gun will help you monitor temps! Stilts i just use small cuts of wood no thicker than the thickest part of wood shims!
@NJPExotics good to know
Gonna have to completely disagree with undertank heating. (With the exclusion of breeding where they animal is only there for short periods of time) No where in the wild are reptiles heated from below. Yes rock and similar structures get warm and do warm them up from below but only because of the sun from above. Plus undertank heating does not give off the most optimal amount of infrared heat. Mostly only emitting Ir-A. Especially considering infrared A nearly only heats the skin. In my opinion deep heat projectors are the most healthy alternative for heat. As they give off Ir- A/B/C which warms then animal up entirely. They also give off no light so other non heat emitting lights can be used instead of relying on heat bulbs for the light. And going back to the infrared points, the sun provides all the types infrared. Seeing as deep heat projectors mimic this the best out of all the options it seems best for the scaly friends!
Appreciate this!! Great points for sure! I think heat pads are truly bottom of the totem pole which is why i weaned them out over the years but yes you make great points!
I have to switch to a heating mat my cat won't stay off the cage and knocked the heat lamp on the floor and now I have a burn mark on my floor
