Heating a Burmese python, what will eventually become a very large animal, with heat pads is a waste of your time and money and a waste of the snake's time and health. The answer to heating a large snake is to use radiant heat from overhead. All heat pads do is give you "hot floor cold air" syndrome (unless your room is heated too). While this might be OK for a mountain kingsnake, it is hardly OK for a big, tropical snake.



Look at www.beanfarm.com for radiant heat panels,



or www.pro-products.com (I think that is correct) for them as well.



Heat pads for a burm... ha ha ha ho ho he he



BTW, have you seen adult Burmese? A 5ft cage is a hidebox for one. Better to have at least 12 sq feet of floorspace.. at least. Maybe the Burmese Forum can shed light on optimum cage sizes.
