How to you keep a plastic viv for a BP warm enough?

I was laughing at her comment about superhuman powers... sorry if it offended you. I took her comment very seriously. Communicating through messaging can be deceiving at times.

I didn't take it as laughing at my serious point, and I'm glad that you didn't take the superhuman power comment out of context either! Lol

Feeding once a week is not maintenance feeding. Most people I know feed their babies once a week. Some feel that every 5 days is too much. Feeding every 5 days is ok, depending on the species. Some species that stress more as babies benefit more from stretching out the feedings a little.
My babies (both Cornsnakes & Carpet Pythons) do very well on 7 day feeding, & are growing at a good rate.

I sometimes vary mine, ranging 5-7 days apart for feeding babies, but for the most part, I feed once a week. My adult males get fed every 2-3 weeks depending on species & prey size.

Edit to add: Autumn's link is definitely a MUST READ for anyone new to BP's

^i must agree

Why did you get the snake before having the set-up ready? And why no thermostat?

I honestly never heard of them. I just assumed the heat matt would never get that hot.

Not being a smart'us here, but that is why you do research and get everything set up before buying the snake.

Lesson learned.
