Hi Guys,
Just putting my snake in a 2 ft viv as she is slowly getting bigger, and i was wondering where to put the heat mat, under the wood... (although how will heat get through??)
or inside, under substrate, or place a piece of hardboard to fit the floor of viv and put the heat matt on floor, and put the hardboard on top to give something to protect snake??
Thanks guys |

Can you just remind me of the max temp of the heat mat, as im used to having it on the outside underneath a faun...
There is no chance of her burning herself is there.. i do use a thermostat and a thermometer...?? |

About 27 - 29 degrees I think, thats where I keep my mats at in the vivs :)
And yes, thermostat and a digital probe thermometer, which you very much should already have! Heat mats must always always always be statted! |

The temperature of the heat mat should be kept between 27-30 degrees.
As long as you have it attached to a thermostat (with the thermostat and digital thermometer probes directly on top of the mat) so that it doesn't go above 30 degrees then you snake won't get burned. |

Thanks guys,
yes i have always had both my snakes temps monitored with a temp gauge and a thermostat attached together on the matt, just wanted to check it was the same in a viv, as in placing wise etc!!! |
