Re: Kings of the forum!
Hey guys im using a uth on all my tanks and don't ever see my snakes basking. Is it ok if I turn off the uth sometimes and use my 75w infrared bulb as a heat source. It never gets the hot side above 90 which is where I have the uth's set at anyway. I noticed when I was using the heat lamp before it seemed like the snakes were more active. Any thoughts?

If you want to try, go ahead. All that matters is that they get heat. They don't really need to go out and bask if they can soak up heat from a Uth(IMO). But I use both and I keep my Uth on 24 hrs.

The uth and heat lamp combined dont make it too hot DC? When I had the two on together my hot side was over 100.

I use a 50w bulb, so high temps aren't a problem for me, and I have a 29 gal tank, so the lamp is much higher up. My hot side during winter ranges 83-86f and 87-91 during summer.

Aha, I may have to get a 25 or 50w bulb. That makes sense. Thank you sir

Re: Kings of the forum!
I bought Ammit her first small rat, probably going to feed off the rest of the mice in my freezer first before I feed it to her. But when I do, I will post pics

Ok, I thought you mixed it up a little. I gave one of my snakes a rat fuzzy for the first time. I'd like to keep the kings on mice primarily with rats on occasion.

Yep I think I'm going to slowly move Ammit to an all rat diet, because I don't find it necessary to feed 3-4 adult mice when you can feed 1 appropriatly sized rat. Plus, it will save freezer space also, its cheaper for me because the rat I got cost me 4$ and when I pic up three mice, it cost me almost 8

I tried, she got it half way down then spit it back up. I think it was probably too big, I'm going to try a smaller rat. It was about the size of 2 adult mice, which is what I feed her, but I think it was just too fat:/
