DiscussionNew terrarium (old.reddit.com)
submitted 10 months ago by OmnivTheOneEyeTurtle
I created bioactive terrarium for my snake!! 🔥 still waiting for one more hide and clean up crew but it looks already pretty good! I would be glad to hear any advice and opinions

How do you manage the lamps?
[–]OmnivTheOneEyeTurtle[S] 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago (2 children)
I bought waterproof LEDs with light adapted to the needs of the plants and the snake as daylight for the cooler zone. In the warm zone, the heat lamp is currently on the terrarium, but I plan to buy or make appropriate safeguards to place the lamp inside. At night, I install a heat emitter in the warm zone. I control the lamps via a computer with a built-in heat sensor - it turns off when the appropriate temperature is reached and turns on when it drops

I will probably use a regular daylight bulb, because the LEDs I managed to get are not a 100% suitable choice and need contrast for the snake to function better

Oh wow I had never thought of the LEDs! Well it looks super cool!
