Ya or actually maybe 4 to one plug, with each plug having a switch.
So if im not using that tub i can switch it off.
will reptile city make it, and ship it to CT?

reptile city ship anywhere in SA.
i think 8 pads into one plug is a little risky IMO.

I checked there site out
they dont seem to have the xray pads.
they the ones that come in Meter roles that you can cut to size then, and solder your own wiring and plugs on, but i dont have time to do that.
IMO?

Ya that could actually work, but now it all needs to go to one cable, well atleast 4 on one cable, to fit to the thermo control unit.

IMO, OH lol
stupid of me

That will work easily just connect them with a connector block then some flex and into the thermostat , to be honest using heat cable is about a million times easier and cheaper.

Just out of interest why do you not like the heating cable?

Corn Snake ... Heating in cage during summer

Postby disturbed69 » Tue Oct 12, 2010 1:27 pm

I do hope I don't sound ignorant but I would just like to know what the temperature in the cage should be during summer ... at the moment it is about 22 (heating pad is not on)

Its so hot Im not sure if I should be putting the pad on but Madusa seems to be a little aggitated and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Worried its to hot, worried its to cold LOL

Any suggestions would be great
Thanks Lisa

Not knowing what Madusa is it is impossible to know why it is agitated. Check the temperatures on the ground on three different points in the cage and then what the overall air temperature is. That will give us more to work with.
It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

Those who are afraid to ask are ashamed of learning.
