ENSO Yeah that helped. I was so confused! lmao Have you ever encountered any problems? Like it got TOO hot or cold or something?

No, these Ranco themostats are right on the money.
Edit: The probe must stay in the correct location though, if it's moved to a different area (say the cool side) and you don't adjust the thermostat you can have problems.

Awesome!!!! Now I'm all excited. I talked to shane about the whole PVC Plastic thing and being able to withstand my cat sitting on it and the toxicity and stuff and judging from the fact that I assume YOUR Woma is healthy and doing fine I'm definately keeping them #1 on my list when I move out

Jenn, I added an edit to the previous post, and yes the Woma is "happy" as happy as a captive snake can be.

I've got a 322D with the built in heat on a Ranco thermostat as well as a shoebox rack that I haven't used yet (only a matter of time and it will be full I'm sure). I'm keeping a Taiwanese Beauty Snake in the 322D and I do really like the cage. I looked at Visons and a few other brands but I really wanted a display cage I could move about by myself (I'm 5'3 so it needed to be light weight). The Ranco thermostat works well but it clicks on and off every couple of minutes which can be a little annoying. I also have an Animal Plastics Rack running on a Helix DBS 1000 thermostat with the heat cable option that I'm very happy with. Finding tubs for it was a pain in my area and I ended up ordering them on-line and paying shipping. Animal Plastics also makes stand alone cages. They didn't have the UTH available when I was shopping or I might have opted for that vs the Boaphile. They look pretty good and are a thicker, tougher (and heavier) material. I don't think the hardware is as nice as on the Boaphile . I wouldn't worry about the cats jumping on it or the Boaphile cage as I have an 18 pound Bengal cat who's destroyed my leather sofa and most of the wood trim in my house but hasn't scratched the Boaphile cage by sleeping on it every day for the past 4 months.
