I advised you to buy the led strip from ikea as lighting. Does not give off heat so no burns on snake. Only costs £11.00.

Auld baldy recommends these to everyone, he works undercover for ikea lol
As everyone else says better to get digital thermometer they are around £5.00
Good luck |

I'm glad you guys are all here to help if he doesn't eat for some reason, seems snakes are quite complicated little guys x |

You will soon get into the swing of feeding and not notice it you spend more time worrying that they do eat ok |

I am looking at all the different types of lighting and heat mats etc, I'm so confused lol |

Did anyone feel a bit grossed out at the thought of feeding when they got their first snake? My cousin had snakes when we were younger and I loved them and I've been watching loads of videos so I'm feeling less grossed out now but reckon it might take me a couple of feeds to get used to it lol |

Personally I feed by hand and have a game of tug of war |

again lighting is optional, no benefit for the snake |

with regard to the thermometer go for a digital one rather than the dial ones, the digi ones are far more acurate!! |

Hydrometer not really needed, room humidity is fine, except you may want to raise it a bit when shedding comes around |
