why does the heat a snake feels from the heat lamp above him
do not place under heat lamp it may kill hamster!!!
a clean tank and a heat lamp or a heat rock but place it one side of the tank because it it gets to hot the snake can move to the other side if it gets to hot if its small you can feed it gold fish or pinkys which is new born mice also when a snake shed its skin the eye may change color and he wont eat when this happens and you don't have to feed the snake every day once a week is fine
If by light you meant a heat lamp then yes they do. They would need a heat lamp until they are fully feathered.
Yes. They need to be kept warm since their mother doesn't sit in the nesting box with them like cats and dogs do. If you do use a heat lamp you need to be very careful that the babies do not get overheated. They are very sensitive to temperature.
With good feed a heat lamp in winter and other conditions the will grow strong
ONLY if it's a species native to your country !
a small heat lamp should work
10-12 hours during the day.
Using a heating lamp for a corn snake is not a bad thing, however not necessary. As a North American species it is adapted to live at low temperatures during winter and high temperatures during summer. During lower temperatures snakes become less active and can hibernate. The addition of both a heat lamp and heat pad won't harm the snake as long as the snake has a place to go to escape both if it so chooses.
Yes, but it will take some persistence. Frozen mice should be warmed using a heat lamp or warm water until they are above room temperature, so that the snake can see them (they see using heat sensitive vision), and then you can use hemostats (kind of like giant tweezers) to wiggle the mouse in front of the snake so that it appears to be alive.
Heat lamps in captivity can harm corn snakes if they are placed where the snake can get very close to it. To prevent this a wire mesh cage should be placed around the lamp
About 10-12 inches above the basking area.
a heat lamp is dumb so dont use it
Heat Lamp. Is a lamp that shines heat energy ( electromagnetic Energy) into the form of heat.
blanket and heat lamp (I recommend a blanket)
It is alright to use a heat lamp for a corn snake in combination with a heating pad as long as the snake has a place to go where he can escape both. Corn snakes don't live an extremely high temperatures and do well between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. As long as he has a place to go that is between or lower than these temperatures he should be fine, preferably a shaded area such as under a crevice or "snake house".
Anyplace but above the tub/shower. The best places would be about the commode or vanity. Center of the bathroom is another good location. In the place of the existing fan is the easiest. Use a combination fan heat lamp.
