Re: Scales falling off of boa constrictor?

Unplug the heat rock, get a pair of scissors and chop the wire off, there is NO reason to ever have a heat rock in a snakes enclosure.

I do agree. Heat rocks are dangerous. Unless there is a built in thermostat that keeps the temp no higher than 90-95, I don't know if they make those....

I like what Rob said +1!

But if your friend is a tool tell to leave it plugged in while cutting off the wire.

@ Zaradozia

I think some do have a built in thermostat. I think I saw one at our local pet store.
