Don't get a heating lamp, at least not if you can help it.
Corn snakes do not need UV light or a day/night cycle. A under tank heater, maintained with a thermostat or rheostat in the mid-80's for the hot end would be ideal.
Many people heat the whole room, but they use a higher temperature than indicated (mid to low 80's).
If we could keep the aggressive dismissals of someone owning the corn snake OUT of the discussion, don't you think that MAYBE we would get a better response FOR THE SNAKE?!?
I HATE it when our members make sweeping dismissals of people asking for help. How, exactly, does this help anyone? Advise, suggest, be kind, be polite, and DON'T tell them to just rehome the pet because they don't have it set up in the IDEAL fashion.
People in this hobby DO advise that corn snakes don't necessarily need supplemental heat if the room they are in is in the high-70's.
She should rehome her pets because of that?
The same theory applies here.... If you can't deal with this kind of thread without getting aggressive, DON'T read them and DON'T post in them.
Sheesh.
