Could my Snake be Dying???

You could use one of those with a dimmer cord that is used for lamps to dim the light. That way you could control how hot it got. You'd have to be able to measure the temperature of the substrate in the viv to get the temperature right, though.

The one for sore muscles already has a switch for low/medium/high... the only problem is that it shuts off after 5 hours. That it better than nothing though.

I shouldn't think so, e-bay would maybe be a good place to look, or your local dept store with kitchen equipment
Mine were £15 (about $24) but I'm sure you could find cheaper ones that work well

But all the ones I've found, the low is like 100 or something like that. Too high for corns.

Hmmm, okay. Maybe a heat blanket will be better. I KNOW it doesn't get that high.

Have you measured how high a temperature they reach? Seriously, set up a tub on the blanket and monitor the heat for a few hours, otherwise you can't be sure it would be safe. I'd be worried about thermal blocking causing problems using the blanket.

I have to find the thing first =D

Does your blanked plug in to a wall?
Cause you could maybe use a dimmer cord for that as well, in case its too hot.

Its electric...I can't even find it. I think my snakes will be fine without heat until winter. I will have a new blanket or something by then I am sure.

Save up your money, though. They should really have a UTH if at all possible.

Ha, how can I save up money if I don't have a job? Believe me, if I had time to have a job I would. I want one, but could only work about an hour one just a few days. I was thinking about selling one of my snakes so I can buy things for my other snakes, but I haven't decided yet.
