Hell=No Snakes
in my room the tempgoes up to 80 and when i have a light it goes to 90 on one end is there a way i can make it cooler on one end
 
what kind of light do you have? You can also use a dimmer switch to lower and the power of the light.

do what joejr said, just turn on the light in ur room so that it can have a photo period. u dont have to have the light dead above the viv. u just need enouh light so the corn can tell day from night, so use ur room light.

LoL, why thank you!!! :Bows:

Come on though, the answer is right in his question. If it's too hot with the light on, then turn it off.
 
ya joe see its always 80 degrees and my snake needs a cooler spot also when ever i make a thread i really dont want your opinion k :twoguns:

No, your snake does not NEED a cooler spot. If it's too warm it'll chill out in it's water dish.

I kind of doubt this is true.

What makes you doubt this? They have been kept for many years by breeders and collectors without an artificial light and still thrive in those conditions to this day. Not just survived but THRIVED. So please back up your statement. As far as the heat prob O-M, as I have recently learned, if you keep a room in your house at a temp 75 to 80 your corns can and will thrive with no extra heat source. Very simple animals to keep. So spend that extra heat money on more corns and have fun!
 
i dont want my snake chilling out in his water dish all day they dont seem to like that also the water is much cooler than 70 degrees

Um, no. Water left out at room temperature is gasp, room temperature!

Snakes soak if they want to or need to. They dont like being forced to do so.

Maybe you should get a mini-AC unit for the tank.
 
i have to agree with joe here

all you need to do is press that little switch that is on the ON position and change it to the OFF position

i tested the temp in the water it is 61 degrees

I call BS.

You just said it was 80 in your tank, yet the water in the tank is almost 20 degrees cooler?

I dont think so.
 
water is 10 degrees coller that the air if it is 61 degrees then if your snake wants to cool down then all it has to do is coil around the water bowl . I think somthing went with your reading if the air is 80 then the water should be 70 I havent had heat on my snakes in many years the temp goes between 60 and 90 depending on the season of the year, 80 is a good temp if the snake wants to cool dowm provide a water bowl large enuff for it to soak without spilling water over the sides. Corn snakes dont need light, they spend most of their life under the ground
 
hey im just saying the facts when i put the watermeter thing that just got it says it is 61 degrees maybe it is wrong but that is what it says
 
Joe yes they do they spend most of their lives under the ground in the tunnels that rodents and rodent like animals make. I been told that under the ground there is a mase of tunnels that corns and kings use to get from one place to another .they spend most of their lives in the tunnels. There was a study done about 10 years ago with transmitters it was in the NY herp news letter that was reprinted from some other news letter. I talked to many collectors they all say corns live under ground. They come out once and a while mostly in early spring and mid to late fall depending on what part of their range they live and the temp.
