Does my cornsnake need a heat mat as well as a heatlamp?
I am moving him from a little plastic tank into a 3ft vivarium and i need to know if he will be ok with just an inside heatmat covered in woodchips or will he need a heatlamp. Again if he needs a heatlamp will it need to have a guard over it? Will i need a thermastat?
As long as the temperature on the floor at one end of the tank reaches 85F then you do not need both. Heating the air to 85F is not necessary for corn snakes, they are not in the air- they are on the floor, so just heat mat would be fine. To monitor the heat put the thermometers on the floor.
If you put a hide at the hot end heat will trap under it making it extra warm. You will also need a hide at the other end so the snake can pick or choose which end to go at. Put plenty of substrate down, and fill up the tank with plenty of objects and things. This will trap heat and over time the air temperature will rise to a nice level. It also helps a snake feel more secure- they're not fans of wide open spaces.
Corn snakes, to my knowledge aren't baskers, they like hiding, and the odd bit of climbing and digging. They don't need any special light rays or lamps to be healthy.
Make sure if you have any exposed heat source or light bulb inside the tank to cover it with a guard (except heat mats which are designed to be safe to sit on).
