1) Is there a good/safe sealant to use to fix down a heat mat?
2) Does anyone know "why" braining works?
3) My snake is quite small for his age (around 8 months)is there a SAFE way of helping him grow a bit faster? (i currently feed him a fuzzy mouse and a rat pup once a week)
thanks, marc |

its because mouse brain smells more of mouse than plain un-brained mouse so makes it more appealing to fussy feeders.
for a good feeding guide search for the 'Munson Plan' |

because mousey brain matter smells! Lovely to the snakes, if you get a nice juicy lump.. not so to us humans. 
I guess it excites the snake more. |

I have two snakes form the same clutch, one is noticeable smaller than the other, it's just how some snakes are.
As said, aquarium seal is safe but you have to leave it 2 days to dry and air out as it really stinks! |

I have a corn from last year that is still relatively small, yet i have 2 that are over 100g none of my 09's are the same, if he is feeding and shedding i wouldnt worry. so long as there is a bulge after feeding you dont need to give him any more. |

snakes are attracted to the scent of brain matter (think thats right n e ways) |

Aquarium sealant should be fine to hold downyour mat.
Snakes grow at different rates, there is no safe way to grow your snake faster he will grow as he grows also I dont see any benefit or need for you to rush this.
