I didn't expect this thread to blow up like this. Well, one thing I like about this forum is that not everyone thinks the same! If everyone thought like me I would just go talk to my self right? So everyone had good comments, and good points to make. Well, almost everyone, lol. I never said that constant heat was the ideal way to keep colubrids, the OP asked what we thought of it, and I answered honestly, that I have been doing it this same way for decades really. Some hinted that I was inexperienced, and even unable to learn, ha ha! Yet I seem to do alright with what I have. Everything isn't always black or white, there are many things that need to be considered. In my case it's almost impossible for me to cool my snake room to 70, so the heat tape is not an option. Also with all the reptile room fires we've been seeing, who is sure those heat tapes aren't the cause of some maybe even many of those fires? Ever wonder why the manufacturers take no responsibility for damage caused by them? Now I admit that offering choices has to be good right? I mean the animals know when to move from the hot to the cold! So are snakes smarter than lizards? They must be cause I know many lizards have cooked themselves on heat rocks that get too hot..hmmm? Call me old fashion but I get great results the Old School way, and I seem to be in good company! Check this guy out, in this link....
