Heeii guys , moving toby into his new cage this weekend (CANT WAIT!!) and i`m just wondering what heat source he will need. We`re moving him into a 36x18x18 wooden viv. We`re guessing he will need a bulb (with a cage of course!) but not really sure what else.

you could just use a heatmat but put it in the viv, someone on here with a wooden viv will be able to help you more  |

36 inches is fine for an adult corn- how big is Toby? corns prefer belly heat so a heatmat would be better than a bulb, attatched to a stat of course, and monitored by digital thermometers.
Essentials include-
a hide at each end
water dish
substrate- aspen, beech chippings, newspaper, shredded paper etc.
thermometers (ideally 2)
stat
heatmat
Additional bits-
climbing branches
vines
logs
rocks
silk or plastic plants
a background for the viv
hope this helps. |

| i have both bilbo and lizzie in woodern viv and i have the heatmat inside the vivs. i do have a light in them but thay are only 15w not for heat but so that i can see them. but they do give out abit of heat so i would put any light the same end as the heat mat. if your snake is only young put in loads of hides and plant cover.... |
