when i got my new snake i got him a plastic viv cos he so little.... i know the heat mat goes on the outside underneath but do i put anything under the mat to stop it from scorching my unit and what should i use
A heatmat shouldn't scorch the unit, provided that there's a stat fitted. If you're still not keen on having it directly on a unit, then a tea-towel or something similar underneath will be ok.
tape ya heat mat onto piece of polystyrene under faun or bit of cardboard wrapped in tin foil.. i have found both methods direct heat nicely
love my animals more than i like people. the gang 1 ridgeback 2 kids 1 anery-lil aney 1 m, 4 ft candy cane corn.. aka kellogg.. 1 carolina corn-claret/carrot Newest additon.. f whiteout corn-pastel?? 1african house snake - Bob
yup, small flat square of polystyrene is good - if you've brought any electrical stuff lately you might still have some left in the packing, I always save mine! lol
E-T 'rain-forest' type mats MUST have airflow underneath and are ONLY recommended for glass vivs. not sure about any others in their range but check first!!
