What watt?

[Dragon_Slave]

Someone here advised me to buy a Hagen Heatwave Substrate Heater for my snake. I was wondering if I'm supposed to get the 8 watt or 110 watt? Thanks. I'm gonna guess 110, but I'm just making sure!

You can get the 110 and get a lamp dimmer to keep it where it is supposed to be. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. I don't usually go for wattage I ususally go for the size of tank it is supposed to be used on (10-20 gal, 30-40 gal etc...etc...) and use a lamp dimmer if needed......I'm sure someone here will be able to help you better...:)

How much do lamp dimmers cost?

One of the two is supposed to keep the tank at a steady 80 degrees without any type of dimmer. :?

Here is a link to instructions on how to make your own. It's really very simple and it costed me under 8 dollars to make one. Just make sure you have a three pronged power chord to destroy. We tried using a 2 pronged and it took us forever to finally figure out why it wasn't working. These are easy to build easy to use and they're easy on the eyes.
