Hi again!

Ok, so just bought a 3ft viv and some questions popped up I thought I should ask.

1) Will Dimika need a partition, she's about 2ft/1.75 ft

2) Will I need to buy a new heat-mat? The one she's got is about 7" x 4"

3) If I buy a new heat-mat, will it have to be habistat as I've got a habistat thermostat for it, and I heard they work best with the heat-mat they're made for?

4)Will Dimika need a medium or large water bowl? She has small/x small at the moment and it is WAY too small for her.

Thanks, Lil xx

NOTE: I'm not rushing into anything and it'll take me a while to get this set-up so she won't be moving in too soon.

The thermostat will be fine with any heatmat, that said the habistat ones are pretty good, there what i have.

You will need a bigger heatmat, 11x11 i would have thought.

Wether you partition is upto you, you know your snake and wether it is likely to get stressed in a larger viv. I know if it was me moving mine up now i would put Reggie straight into the 3 footer, but would partition it for casper as she can get a little stressed.

Candy is only tiny at the minute but if she was casper or Reggies size i would probably just put her straight into a 3 footer.

I would also get a bigger water bowl, Maybe get the large one, i have the medium in my fains and it isn't all that big. Reggie can just about curl up init.

Get a bigger water bowl definitely, I would get the size that will let a an adult corn be able to bathe in it.

There's an large and x-large water dish that exoterra sell but I have no idea how big they are. If anyone knows please do tell.



A very special super, duper thanks for K :3
