Hello hello,
Long time snake lover, first time buyer here looking for any advice offered, trying to learn and raise a healthy beauty...
I just picked up a Dumeril's from the local pet shop, despite their lack of knowledge, it was on sale for $80, and once I held it I had to have it!!! Anyways... it is fairly old I believe, that is why it was cheaper because they weren't selling any snakes... I would say its about 2 feet long or so...
As far as setup goes, I did a little research online to try and figure it out. I'm using a donated 29 gallon tank (i'm a broke PSU student...) with some cage carpet crap. I got a nice big water bowl and some vines, and two lights. Thats where my biggest concern is.. the heating.
I bought a 100W Sun Glo and a 75W Night Glo... n thats it. For now I guess that will suffice but should I buy a heating rock or something? And for temps, I'm guessing it should be about 85 on the warm side and mid 70s and night??
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I'm really enjoyin my snake and it's only been like 4 hours!!! Thanks in advance!!!
ps. Will have pics up soon, beautiful beautiful pattern...
