Hey guys, I'm new to the sight
so I have 3 questions right now:
1) I've had a ball python, & he needs a new enclosure. Tried finding a tank but no luck since August. So I decided to buy a Sterilite bin, but I'm afraid putting a UTH will burn the plastic. How on earth do you guys keep it from melting? I have a heat lamp on him now, but the small bin he's in has a metal screen lid ductaped to it. Should I cut a hole in the lid of the new one so I can put the heat lamp on there? & what do I do with the UTH? It's pretty cold in my room, & I'm also a fan of keeping a damp towel in there or over half the lid for humidity.
2) How long does it take for a frozen adult mouse to thaw out to room temp if I don't run it under hot water? I'd rather thaw it slowly, I feel it would do a more thorough job.
3) I should know this for a fact, but I'm just making sure; I have a corn snake, she's about 4/5 feet, about 1" diameter, & my ball is 3', about 3" diameter. I can't put them in the same tank, correct? They've been face to face several times & shown no aggression at all towards each other, but I'd still be worried they'd try to eat one another lol.
Thanks in advance for your answers & suggestions!
