Hi everyone! I got my snake today and I'm really happy with her. I got a viv starter kit so I got a heat mat, aspen, moss, some cork, a water bowl and a thermometer also.
I've set everything up, and got 2 hides for her, one in the warm end and one in the cool end. She is really tame and loves to be handled. She is also a beautiful colour. A mix or red, orange and white.
As my viv is quite high, my next mission is to make a second floor for her, with a vine or something similar to climb up!
Her name by the way is Sylar |

Hello and welcome!
Dont forget a thermostat if you dont have one already; most starter kits dont include one for some reason, and they make the heat mats much safer!
Leaving them to settle for a few days is usually a good idea too, just to make sure they dont get too stressed 
Congrats on getting her though, bet it wont stay at just 1 for long..... |

Hi, welcome to the forum.
Have to agree with Figs about the need for a thermostat, it is without doubt an essential bit of equipment as heat mats can overheat very easily. I would also check that the thermometer you have is a digital one and not just one of the useless dial thermometers that normally come with complete starter kits.
Sylar sounds gorgeous, I'll look forward to seeing some photos of her. |
