which do you guys prefer and why??
reason i ask is that i currently have my female Dum in a large glass aquarium (4' x 1' x 2') i thought it was too big for her when i got her, but she did so well for a while i didnt think there was a problem. Then she stopped eating last Sept...i dont know if it was because of brumation or something else. Her temps and humidity were good, her sheds were almost perfect, and she didnt lose any weight. 7 months later she finally ate again after i tried a f/t mouse instead of a rat.
I had already planned to move her to a rubbermaid tub to see if that would help before she ate, and i still kind of want to. Shes almost 3 ft now and the narrow aquarium might be getting too narrow for her. But if i do that i'll have to go with a UTH, and i only have experience using heat lamps.
Ive heard stories about UTHs burning snakes and that they arent as "natural" as heat lamps. Just wanted to hear your opinions and any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
