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

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

| 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 |

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.
http://m.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/art/90192071/
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 |
