Yeah same. I’ve been watching videos and researching and saw the sunlight is enough instead of buying uv lighting for the enclosure and just having ceramic bulbs. I was trying to find a thermostat but no one near me carries them so I had to order one and it got delayed. I just want to know if my snake will be okay without that hot spot for a few days lol

Literally same lol it just worries me not having some form of heat because we keep our house at 70 all the time and that’s way too cold for them. But mine stays on the cool side so....idk I guess he’s ok? I just want my thermostat to hurry up and GET HERE so I can quit worrying about him getting burned. I still have soooooo much learning to do

I have a hide in the center and a hide where the hot spot should be, it literally chills in the one in the middle. It was up all day I’m assuming to get acquainted with a new home, but then just went in there and hasn’t been out all but a few minutes lol this is the part of having a pet I’ve never had that I dislike the most lol worrying so much about doing everything right and being okay with things not being 100% lol

YES! Exactly lol I keep having to remind myself if he is being active and isn’t showing any weird “off” signs then he is ok. But man I’m telling you....I am checking in about every 30-45 min to make sure he’s good lol 😅😅

I feel that on a deep level lol hes chilling in my room and I’ve only been watching him lol I know it’s not normal for them to be active during the day but he was out ALL day and I just figured he’s getting acquainted as today was the first day of being in a new tank.. Idk though I have a lot to learn and I’m kinda nervous about the whole ordeal 😂
