Hi,
I just got a couple of corns. For heat, I am using an undercage heater, the first I have ever used. In the instructions, it says to have enough substrate so the heat will defuse and not burn the animal. However, once I turned on the heater, the corns burrowed down to the bottom. The substrate is a good temperature, but right on the glass in quite hot. I am afraid of leaving the heater on for very long. Do they stay a constant temperature, or continue to rise?
Thanks
Stephanie

as undertank heaters can get quite hot. You need to measure the temps directly on the glass over top of the heater. Remember that snakes can get a nasty burn before they move off the hot spot.
