someone i know recently left the country and we bought their bearded dragon and got their spare viv as well.
i was thinking about relocating my corn snake to this new viv as its a little (not much tho) bigger than the one its in currently.
the one he's in at the moment is a glass tank with sliding doors which is easy to heat with a normal heat mat. we picked up the other viv last night and i was contemplating how to heat it. the underneath of the viv is a fairly thick peice of wood and i didnt think the heat would penetrate this and the substrate very well.
the back panel is a thin peice of plywood so i suppose i could put the heatmat here but would the heat coming through the back wall rather than underneath make much differance to my snake ?
the way the old owner had it set up was with the heat mat actually inside the tank. is this ok ? thought it might be a bit dangerous to the animal kept inside
any thoughts or examples of how people heat their wooden vivariums would be greatly apreciated.
