Hi All

This is my first post

This may be a silly question, but I need to ask anyway lol! Looking to get a corn snake and have been researching... like you should of course... have 2 beardies so not a complete reptile novice...but does the heat mat need to be on all the time (day & night)? As with beardies we turn off heat lamp?

Cheers

Love the site/forum
