thanks for the advice, im still not sure about the ceramic yet. i have ordered a 11x11 heat mat of ebay which should be here this week so will probably be swapping ceramic for mat again.

thanks

i personly would rather use a mat for kings as belly heat is better for them.

Personally I use ceramics in all of my vivs. Think it just comes down to your own preference

if there too close they will heat up,i think the powder coated ones are more heat resistant than bare or painted ones

It looks great. Two questions: does she have hides in there, under the folliage? How is the viv ventilated?

Btw, she's a beautiful snake.

What size is your viv?
and where did you get your log from?
I'm looking for a log which wedges itself quite comfortably in the viv, i always worry the smaller log i have in my king's viv is going to wobble and hurt her if she goes exploring...

stunning snake :)
