tbh i would steer clear of that shop, that is shockingly bad advice they have given you :( The mat needs to be on the floor covering approx 1/3 of one end controlled by a thermostat at around 26-28 deg C(ish). Prolonged periods of too high a temperature can cause all sorts of problems from eating right up to neurological damage.
For a regurged snake I would leave it alone for a few weeks, only disturbing to change the water, and Reptoboost mixed in with the water is good stuff to get their stomachs working again. |

I know what you mean about the sites. That has surprised me that JC exotics told you that. Everyone seems to rave about how good they are, and you would think they would would their stuff specially with all the animals they sell there :o suppose it doesn't really help when some of the heat mat instructions so say to use on the wall but you certainly don't with snakes, maybe with other animals.
Eeji both of the shops that sell snakes here are kinda bad at advise :( |
   
A very special super, duper thanks for K :3 |

| that really doesn't surprise me. I've even heard bad advice in one of the best shops around here (no names, but has an excellent reputation) so it really does pay to read around from lots of different sources. I know a lot of sources will contradict each other, but if you read enough the good advice should start making a pattern and you can make your own decisions. |

same here, a very reputable local shop, i even felt the need to follow the customer out of the shop and have a 'quick word' to put her straight and point her in this direction!  |
