| HI there and welcome, a heat mat is the best source of heat, you would put this inside the viv under the substrate, you would also need a digital thermometer, which you can get for a couple pounds from somewhere like ebay and a thermostat which would control the temperature of the mat. Many pet shops will say this is an unnessary piece of equipment, but it can potentially prevent a fire and/or burns to your snake. Good luck, don't forget we want pics when you have he/she, and you're in the right place for questions |

| Thank you for your reply, it's exactly the advice I was after. I just wasn't sure that the mat wouldn't cause a fire with the aspen shavings. I'll definitely upload pics, i'm excited about it, something to look forward to after exams! |

Haven't even picked the little fella out yet,lol. I wanted to go to a breeder as i don't know how well Pets At Home keep records and such, but there is none i can find around here. Just wanting to get everything up and running for the little guy before i commit to a certain one. |

| I cant speak for others' experience, but my nearest P@H is very good- although the snakes cost more than from a private breeder, (i think around 50 quid as opposed to between 10-25 privately,) they DO keep feeding records and won't sell you a snake that isn't a reliable feeder. The hatchie we got last year had records back to her birth, as they'd kept the notes from the supplier and continued on from there. My local P@H also has a couple of quite knowledgable bods working in the rep section there, but its lucky dip if those blokes are in on the day i go. |
and you thought there was no such thing as a stupid question....
