yeah still questioning the set up. do not know why they provide you with a set up kit, should have purchased them all individually, one way to get them to make you purchase more i suppose.

thank you, so just gonna stick with the heat mat, thermometer and stat...

thanks again. x

ment to say also, this strip light that they have provided with the set up, i gather its just for our purpose to see into the tank. if we do put it in will this harm the snake? thanks x

If its a uv bulb then you do not need it. If you want lights to view you can get led light that emit the teenyest amounnt of heat, just stick em on with a glue gun. X
