Hi everybody,
so I am looking into getting some new snakes, ball pythons (they are SO addictive) and I heard about heat tape.
I have found some enclosures that I like (but am debating size still.
option 1: 48"L x 24"W x 16"H
option 2: 48"L x 24"W x 12"H )
Could somebody give me an overview of how heat tape works? the cages i'm looking at do not have it pre-installed and i've never used it or met anybody that does. How do you know how much you need to maintain your temps? Do you need to use a thermostat with it or does it just plug in?
any tips/comments would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Kendra
