As a newbie who is wanting to get set up for a corn snake and wouldn't have known where to start I'd just like to say thanks for going to the effort of making this guide. :)
Thanks this helped me alot! although my heat mat hangs off the edge of my faun an its to big but it keeps it just under 30 degrees still so this shouldnt be a problem right?

I've got 2 of these for my corns, they are BRILLIANT and a lot less hastle than the faunariums PLUS (the best bit) the whole top opens up so getting snakey out is a lot easier.
I tried faunariums but didn't like having to stick the heat mat to the bottom of it and I didn't like having to make extra holes for thermostat and thermometer probes
Thank you for this post. We aint got our corn snake yet hopefully in a couple of weeks so we are currently reading up as much information as we can on the to give it the best care possible. Currently setting things up ready for our new arrvial and information like this is very very helpful.
We have 2 questions...
1. We got the Faunarium like your one in the 101 guide and we are a little concerened that the lids dont look at secure. Could these be easily opened by the snake? (Wife would go mental if it gets out..LOL)
2. Should the heat pad go inside the box or be glued to the outside or have the air space as your recommened?? There seems to be a lot of information on this but it is all a little confusing as every one says theirs is the best way.
I had the same thought when I first got one of these fauns and used to put a book on the top but after a couple of weeks took it off because I thought I was being to paranoid and I was. I had Sid in this type of faun and he was constantly roaming looking for a flaw and he never found one. The lids do push on pretty tight and are quite secure. I had my mat on the outside with the stat probe stuck to it (thermometer probe on the floor in the faun) and then sat the faun on top of it and the weight of it kept the mat in place.
Just a quick question my hatchling is about 3 weeks old and i have the Kamodo version of your Faun can a hatchling get through those air slats just dont want to take any risks as i would have one upset little boy as he loves his baby snake if cola escaped
