Another corn snake heating pad question.? - snake heating pad
I have a corn snake age of 5 months in a glass tank 10 liters. I have a heater under the deposit from the surface of the Earth Zoo Med in the reservoir is a constant 85-87 degrees on one side and 75 degrees, on the other hand, seems to be quite accurate. But in the bottom of the tank, where the cooking surface of the glass corresponds to (the heater placed on the outside bottom of the tank), the thermometer reads 110 degrees. Burn When my snake sinks to the bottom, I know it can. Is there a way to avoid the high temperatures in the glass, the temperature of 85 degrees at the surface? I looked in the heating Exo Terra Jungle platform, and seems best suited for a moist environment and do not generate much heat in the glass. Any help is apestimated.

I was firmly on the road for many years and the use of heating pads. Corn snakes do not burrow into the ground, if no other way to hide themselves. It is a problem that I have ever in one of my puppies or adults. Do not you think it is somewhat disturbing. Their platform is carried out exactly as planned and provide suitable substrate surface. The pad must of course hot on its surface without insulation, in order to achieve this goal. You can use a lower power / temperature platform, but it can keep thinning the substrate layer at an optimum temperature at the surface.
First, you need a larger tank. You also need a digital thermometer and place the tube inside the tank. You do not get the exact time with a stick in the thermometer outside the tank. UTH have only less than half of the tank, in this way can not escape the heat of the snake, if you want. I am not part of the tank above 95 F. With a larger pool you will get in a position to better times. I also use a substrate for a variety of reptiles such as a carpet, you'll be able dirrect contact with hot glass.
the heating ramp, the only thing that generates heat in the tank? If so, you can try to maintain the temperature of the heating CSA bottom and a light bulb over his head and that is what we could work ID i reptile shop, has worked well, with the smallest, which she kept in 1 foot container with a lid. launched, of course, and a shelf with a strip of heat into the wall of the platform to the heating pad was on the back of the container and not on the bottom to prevent burning. or maybe I could be something on the floor of his tank, so that when the snake into the fund tubes not directly on the floor is what you make. hope this help. Good luck:)
Our ball python in a hot stone fired - said it was safe for snakes and lizards. The vet said he did not know to use something like a snake. They need heat, but by a less direct method - a heat lamp, for example, that shines in the tank. Our snake has survived and is now very good, but I think he was very ill for some time. Left and right, we spill a bathroom to give help to remove it. Then she discovered the burn. After a visit to the vet, we had fun antibiotic feed - it's! No! I recommend a heat lamp.
La Selva pad is always at a temperature higher than you have to be heated, if not spent in a thermostat, as I said.
Heating the tank is by far the best and safest for the lack of heating tree snakes, but like everything else, you have correctly configured to work properly. Lighting up is much more difficult to control, is terribly dry deposition, and are no snakes need belly heat to digest food more efficiently.
