hi all, new here, will be getting my first corn snake (a hatchling) in a few days once my set up is sorted, I have basically gone with what littlemick has put in his very useful thread.
just wondering, I have got heat strips instead of a heat mat, will this make any difference? I will be using the large flat exo terra faun, and the strips are 11" x 7" and 7.25W
will this be ok? or do I need to get a mat?
any help will be much appreciated, dont want to do anything wrong for the sake of the snake.
thanks
John |

| mats an strips are the same thing it just defines size, the size u said is generally a mat, strips are usually alot longer an narrow as they are used to heat multiple hatchling tubs in racks |

I agree, I thought that strips were longer for multiple vivs, fauns, etc.
And Chris where you been hiding babe? :(

I use heat strips which are 4ft long and I have multiple rubs on it.
I would call that a heatmat and yeah it will be fine :) |
