Hi Everyone,
I am a soon to be new corn snake owner. I tried to look up some answers to questions I had, but there are some that I need some extra help with.
I plan on getting a baby corn snake. I have a 20 gallon long tank with an 8 watt under tank heat pad, a couple of hides, and aspen bedding. The tank is next to a window, but the room does not get so bright during the day.
Do I need an alternate light source that does not provide much heat, or just rely on the natural light that comes in the room? It should also be noted that at night, the room is pitch black.
Second, I have 2 locks on the tank (1 on each of the narrow sides), but I saw that with enough force, the corners could be pushed up. I decided to get some velcro to keep the tank locked. Has anyone had experience with velcro? Has a snake escaped with velcro?
Thanks for all your help
