| Wow, fantastic guide. this has really been helpful. I didn't know whether to get a digital thermometer or not but now I def will. I was going to get one with 2 probes so I can keep an eye on the cool end temp too or is this not needed? |

| Think I'm gonna need to run out and get a thermostat, got a digital thermometer yesterday that says the warm end is about 28 degrees, but the guy in the shop said I didn't need a thermostat, for some reason. :S |

I know I posted like a year ago but I didn't get a snake in the end... Now I actually am and I cannot begin to say how good this guide is lol. I've set up my little snakeys home now. Just waiting to pick him up :) Using non-digital thermometers but hoping to buy digital soon.
My parents are loveing the snake idea, they're going to pay for the viv and put it in the living room with deco when he's bigger.
Thanks again |

It's impossible to say but it's around a year I think.

So Sorry for doube post but when the stat heat light goes off does that mean that the temperature is at the required level and stuff.
Sorry, just wondering if mine was broken. |

| Hiya, yes if the light that is labelled heat goes off then the mat has reached the correct temperature according to the thermostat. The dials on the stat arent always spot on so sometimes you have to play around with it to get the right reading on your thermometer. Unfortunately with dial and strip thermometers they are notoriously unreliable so I would recommend you get at least one digital thermometer for the warm end to make sure you have it at the right temperature. You can get one on ebay for about £3 so probably even cheaper than the exoterra dial ones. |

Lol, seriously though, you want me to build it for you as well?
Lol, No, absolutely seriously, if it will help I will get a price together of what I paid for a COMPLETE setup. But I'm sure if people hunt around they can get everything a little cheaper.
This was an absolute god send and yeah if you could come around my house when I have problems(I'll put he kettle on) |

Brilliant thread. So I'm looking at getting a hatchling, and I've seen it mentioned that they can squeeze through small gaps - I take it that the air slots in the lid of the faunarium from 888 are too small for them to get through?
Do you know if the lid clamps on? As i've heard they get strong and can lift lids?
Also, strange question, how often so they poo? |

| They air slots are small so should be ok. The cable holes on the lid if not used should be blocked ( i used tissue). The lid dies clap down so no fears there. |
