Been wanting another for a while, and I can swing the funds for a 36X18X18 Exo Terra. (Obviously, not necessary - but, I like them). Have an extra UTH, and extra RHP, LED (for plants), and a Hydrofarm T-stat.
That spare t-stat should be upgraded. A Vivarium Electronics that regulates both heat sources VE300-2 (?) is $195. I have a VE200 on my corn snake's UTH. Nevertheless, he almost never uses that warm hide (T-stat set at 85F, and air temp in hide is 81F). Instead, he basks on a ledge under the unregulated RHP. The thermometer near that spot - a couple inches farther away, reads 72F. The highest reading I get from a temp gun on the surface of the snake itself, is 86F.
Not sure. There is plenty of time. Repstylin had a lovely female lavender, but it looks like she sold (I don't know what the price was, so that gal may not have even been in my budget).
