Remember to leave him/her a bit of time to settle in. It is hard though but you must resist a cute little face staring out at you.

If you have to have a dial one until you get around to getting a digital, at least lay it flat on the heat mat so you can get as accurate a reading of surface temps as possible.

Good luck, look forward to the pics :)

Better to disturb snakey for a couple of minutes - that way you know your temps are safe :)
