Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

NEED HELP - Baby Jungle Carpet Python Heating
Hello, So I recently purchased a baby jungle carpet python, and was recommended to use a small cage. The cage I am using is 12 in L, 12 in W, 18 in H. The problem I'm having is I cant really regulate the heat, I am limited by the width of the cage. One heat lamp takes up most of the screen top. The "hot side" is around 88 F while the "cool side" is around 85. It is hard to keep the "cool" side "cool" while maintaining heat. If you have any ideas or suggestions on how to regulate the heat better on a small enclosure I would be very grateful. The snake is 3 months old.

When you say hot and cold "side", are you literally referring to one side and the other or the top and the bottom? As long as the top is staying warmer and it's cooler toward the bottom of the cage you shouldn't have an issue, there just should to be a cooler area for them to go if they want. Whether it's front and back or top and bottom makes no difference. I would also keep an eye on your humidity if you're not using a tub setup, some cages can dry out pretty quickly if you don't keep an eye on them.

I started my baby carpet in a 29 gallon tank with a screen top and a 100w ceramic heat emitter positioned just above the screen on one end.

Those temps are pretty high. With an enclosure that small, you are better off with a heat pad under a small area. Shoot for about 80 as an ambient temperature with the spot where the heat pad slightly warmer.
