1/ A heat pad should never get hot enough to crack the glass on an aquarium, however running the cabling into the tank might cause trouble for you.



Captive bred - the snakes have been bred from captive snakes and should be clean from parasites



Captive born - the eggs arer collected from wild snakes and hatched in an incubator. Hence a higher risk of parasites



I have gone for captive bred, you have probably heard about getting a snake that is feeding but if not :-



MAKE SURE THE SNAKE IS EATING ! If possible see the snake eating. I did not do this with my first snake and she died, not a fun thing to deal with.



If you can get a captive bred animal, the dealer should have records for what the snake is eating, when it last fed - shed etc.



Hope it helps
