Take a look at this, and see if it sways your decision in using a thermostat. Very Happy http://www.arbreptiles.com/cages/flexburn.shtml


Thanks Jordan!! Although some of them are advertised as not needing a thermosat (yes, someone actually told me that they don't get hot enough to need a thermosat!) It's always better to be safe than sorry. We hear of horror stories of snakes being stolen, infected with IBD (i do sometimes suspect that a rival might have infected someone's inventory of snakes.) burning, being eaten by rats, mice, escaping..and still we make the same mistakes repeatedly. Rolling Eyes

It's always good to have reminders. Laughing



What kind of sick person would do this? I get PISSED just thinking someone could do that to somebody. How could someone lower themselves to that level? Even breeders that have screwed me over, I would never think to do something like that.

A wily, cunning sick person. Somone using "cut-throat" business tactics to put a competitor out of business. It's a harsh world out there. Rolling Eyes People like you, and others on this forum, have ethics. We would never think of doing something that would hurt animals. (we might push people down the stairs, but would never hurt an animal) Laughing Laughing

I would say yes move the heat rock and lamp to one side as previously stated in the other thread. (someone else correct me if I'm wrong)

Hurray!!! A new convert! Laughing that is definitely a priority, wouldn't wanna put two males together!! Although I have heard of the lesser ethical breeders doing it by accident, because they missexed their snakes or purchased on without verifiying what they had! Laughing Laughing

Depends on what your overall strategy is. If you want to breed and produce morphs "quickly" then go with a pastel or spider.

Yea I narrowed it down to them, I guess I would like which ever would turn out more of a chance to make more money when selling.

I like the spider better then the pastel, but with a pastel I could make a super pastel over time, ahhhhhhhh decisions decisions.

How much are super pastels usually sold for?

You'll make money faster with co-doms. When you're ready to make a purchase send me an email or phone me. I'll take good care of you. Wink
