i was gonna say thats why you dont use a blanket, but heat mats cant be folded and stuff...so how would you get one big enough from the shop to your house. there must be something...surely a blanket isnt good. |

Surely there's a speciality that makes heat mats that can fold or that they join together. A heat blanket is not sensible and it would be hard to wash. I guess they could use many heat mats and seal them all together and then seal them all down to the floor. Or, get a load of bulbs or something. |

You would never heat a snake that big with heat mats. You would use either bulbs or ceramic heat plates. |

ah right, that makes more sense, so the heating it with an electric blanket was a bad idea? |

It got wrapped around the rabbit it was eating so kinda did it by accident, you would think when it felt the blanket it would top eating though. |

Heard this story about the burm, shame really.
Typical burms, they're like the labradors of the snake world tbh.. food orientated and dopey
You wouldnt use heatmats as the snake could break the mat thus electrocuting itself plus i dont think you can get them massivley big anyway. |
