    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hi, today I acquired an albino Nelsons milksnake, she is a very pretty snake, but I am new to colubrids. She is approx. 2-3 ft long, and being housed in a 10 gallon (I plan on getting a larger one or custom building one this week). She has been housed with not heat (UTH or light). I plan on doing what I can to get her in a proper set up...any suggestions?
 
It really depends on your housing situation, little kids and what not I would definitely go with the under tank. They both work well but when I can if my snakes are not in racks then I set them up in tanks with over head heating. And again how much room you can afford to give to your snake will determine the size of tank. 20L will be more then enough for that girl, 10G is actually fine also, some breeders keep them in smaller. And if you are going heavy feeding then over head is going to be the best. But I do not consider myself an expert so any other input from some of these other guys on here would do you well.

Just curious as to why you suggest overhead heat vs belly heat for a heavy feeder? (and I am not trying to stir up anything, just curious, that's all)
