Re: Introducing Glitch!
If the one you were looking at is a knob then its likely a rheostat. These aren't preferred because they fluctuate as the air temp does, vs a thermometer which will keep the temp steady regardless of air temp.

It was a knob showing different temp. The package said thermostat. I do know the difference between the thermostat and reostat. A reostat is like a light dimmer working to keep the same amount of power to the heat source. The thermostat will turn the heat source on and off when the temperature changes too far from the set temp.
On another note, Glitch has accepted her first fuzzy rat of her second meal while she has been with me. I will introduce the second in a few minutes while she gets that first one down a little bit.

Re: Introducing Glitch!
She accepted the second fuzzy no problem she grew and I'm sure getting close to shed. I should make a humid hid for her soon. Damp paper towels in a container with a hole in the side for her to get in right? Or should I use a cloth like wash cloths?

Re: Introducing Glitch!
I use damp sphagnum moss when I make a humid hide but I've heard paper towels will work well also. I'm glad your girl is eating well.

Thankyou, I've heard of the mossbeing used, but I'm going to use paper towels this time. They should be changed every couple days right?
I'm glad she is eating well too, the took the rats faster this time than last time. I got pics of her eating the first one but she hid to eat the second one.

Re: Introducing Glitch!
Here are some feeding pics of her first fuzzy rat.
Let's do this!
Half way done...
Almost there....
Do I look fat after that?

Re: Introducing Glitch!
Glitch is using the humid hide I set up for her I was going to change out the paper towels in it and I picked it up (because I couldn't see her) and I thought it felt a little heavy, so I looked in the opening and sure enough, there she was XD I ordered some aspen bedding and a thermostat so that will be in hopefully soon.

Re: Introducing Glitch!
So, this morning, I had to change the paper towels for the humid hide so I took Glitch out and held her for a second and I noticed her cloaca is bulging a little bit. Could this be because she hasn't pooped for me yet after her two feedings and she needs to? I will get a picture when I can.

Yeah, there does tend to be some bulging near the cloaca when it's getting close to pooping time. Shouldn't be like that all the time, though. After pooping, it should look normal again. If it still looks bulgey after pooping, she could be getting chubby. Pretty hard to make a growing snake fat, though

Thankyou
Okay. I thought that would be why. I'll be watching for little (or not so little) preasents I hope she's not a farter lol but she didn't like me getting her out of the enclosure. She grabbed the fake plants I have in there and wouldn't let go. She is strong for a little thing. Almost forgot that snakes are almost pure muscle. Didn't ball up at all. She seems like less plop and more slither away when she is done with you. Very alert little girl.
Also, I will be getting the thermostat and aspen shavings in tomorrow so I will be using a more reliable heat source and she will have some burrowing space

Re: Introducing Glitch!
Thankyou, lady_bug87
I am enjoying her a lot and can't wait to warm my parents up to her so they might consider a little garg adding up the costs on amazon as we speak lol though I think I'll wait a few more months before I ask or bring it up at all XDby (by then I will be living on the other side of the house and hopefully have a job)
