How many snakes do you have? Derek

Two smallish milks in 10 gal tanks.

I have Alife 1000 watt electronic thermostat with probe to control temps for both cages, and will control many more tanks. I have used T-rex cobra mats for 10-20 gallon tanks. Peel paper off pad and stick it to aluminum foil. You can reuse it over and over. Also, you should put a good thermometer in each tank. I use ESU Digital Thermometer with probe in almost all my enclosures. Both setups will run you less than $70 together. Good Luck. Derek

I think Cobras are fantastic I just stuck mine on the bottom with scotch tape and dont use any temp control as find they run steady warm not insane dangerous hot or not run at all like the popular type most buy.
