heating question for my cali king snake
Hey guys I'm new to the forum and I just got my first snake. She a california king snake about a year old. I have her in a 20 gallon tank and am trying to figure out heating for her. Iv been using a heat lamp but I know they use heat from their belly to help them digest. I have a heat mat on the bottom of the hot side connected to a thermostats so it doesn't get too hot. Iv been using just the mat for a day but realized two things 1. The ambient air stays room temp around 73 or 74 and 2. She spends most her time today under the substrate on the heat mat. Is this a problem? On that should I use both? My only concern with doing that is that the heat lamp will keep the thermostat from kicking the heat mat on. What do you guys think?
