Thanks for clearing that up for me!  I have one exo terra terrarium and 1 40g long tank that I put 1/4 in cork on the back and two sides. Also helps insulate the glass in winter and adds more security for the snake.

Re: New Snake Owner, Questions!
Is there a light bulb I can get that will allow me to see his terrarium at night without generating any heat? Obviously one that that would not mess up his nocturnal cycle.
I like watching him slither around at night xD

Re: New Snake Owner, Questions!
I use a low watt infrared bulb on a dimmer for night viewing vypr. I think others use led light strips.

I am having trouble finding a decent bulb that produces next to no heat.

Usually they typically reach maturity at about 2 years. All snakes grow at different rates. And it depends on how much and how often they are fed,husbandry,metabolism, and overall health of the animal.It just depends! lol

Re: New Snake Owner, Questions!
not sure if this has been said yet, but there are very different wattage of heat lamps too that make a huge difference, and also depend on how high your top to your substrate is, with added foliage you can control for a bunch of different temps. Temp guns are amazing and work great, cheap too, and can allow you to monitor for different areas in the cage for temperature.
