zoo med heat pad where to place.

That's too hot mate. The warm side should be between 80 and 85, and the cool side should be 70 - 75. If you get a heat mat with a thermostat, then your problems will disappear. :)
 
what do you mean a heat mat with a thermostat, like once it gets to a certain temp it shuts off the mat??? or what? because my heat mat gets prolly to 150 F. the glass almost burned my finger.
 
I totally agree with Dave 90* is too hot, in another thread you said you read 90* is fine. I'll ask you to opoint us to that referance. You should also be taking the temp on top of the glass under the substrate not on top of substrate.
If your mat gets 150* you need a way to control it thermostat or rheosat.
 
no no, i dont have a heat mat on the tank now because the mat gets way to hot. i put the thermometer on the top of the substrate for the heat lamp, i didnt put the thermometer on the glass of the tank when i had the heat mat on because it would obviously go over 120*, thats where my thermostat maxes out. how does the rheosat work???
 
okay, never mind me how a rheastat works...
im doing some re testing on my tanks heat for EXACT results. spot--- my thermometer goes up by 2 per line.
84-86 ------ hot spots ground
84-87----- INSIDe the hot spots hiding spot
74-76---- cold side of the tank
74-77 ----- inside cold hide spot.
 
nah, im just using a zoomed thermometer, next time i go to ruffins ill get it all figured out,
prolly the next 2 weeks. and probably a rheostat.
i havent used a heat pad in the last couple weeks because it broke but he has been fine, really active and eating fine.
 
yep i was looking at this before. seems pretty simple, ill probably end up doing that. because mine was getting really hot.

if i get more than one corn ill be able to keepthem both in the same tank right?
 
Not usualy but they can they are also solitary animals in the wild so why should we force them to do something against there nature. Trust me don't do it. Not only are there they problems(do a search on cohabing) there is also the male female thing and unless your snake has been probed by someone trained to do it right there is the risk of them being sexed incorrect. They you could have snakes breeding before they should. I was lucky that my female was just at the recomended size age and length to bred since i was told it was a male.
