i have recently got a 2 foot wooden vivarium to house my nelsons milksnake, i have got an 11" x 11" heat mat, a thermostat and a digital thermometer with 2 probes.
my question is do i lay the thermostat probe and one thermometer probe directly on the heat mat and the cover the whole lot with a thin layer of aspen, or do the probes go on top of the substrate?
i would imagine the snake would be burrowing into the aspen so would come in contact with the heat mat, is this ok?
one more, what temperature should i set the thermostat to, is between 85 - 90 ok? |

Spot on mate. I place probe directly ontop of the heatmat (in other cases, If using Tubs, I place the Probe at the cloest point the snake can get to the heatmat). 85 degrees fahreinheit is plentyful.
