which means i can start spending my hard earned money on our new arrival next weekend! :)

Im getting all the stuff now so its all ready for her when she comes home on sunday evening..

I already have a rub which cecil used to use when he was a baby so on my checklist is:


matstat
heatmat
water bowl
hides

I need to do it as cheaply as possible (I have around £50) most important is the matstat and heatmat.. the rest i could get from donny next week, i just would prefer to have the temps all set up and right so shes ready to go in there as its a long journey home!

So if anyone can recomend a good site i can get it all from please let me know, i remember there was a post recently to a site that was quite cheap but iv searched and coldnt find it (or i could just have been dumb and missed it)

Hi

I use http://www.reptilekeeping.co.uk , they have money off Habistat Mats and Thermostats. Depending on the size of mat you need, there is about £3 or £4 off them. Plus there is free delivery if you spend over £20.

Regarding your question about using a heat mat or heat strip, if you are just heating your new snakes container then get a mat, but if your wanting to heat a few containers then get a strip. Hope that helps.

Best wishes
