What’s up everyone, most of my friend group has moved overseas for work😭so I’m looking for some new local friends to do stuff with, M or F any age, doesn’t matter at all.

A little bit about me:

I am outdoors majority of the time, hiking, free diving, riding motorbikes, horse riding, gardening and am in the gym all the time.

I also like cooking, dabble in doing tattoos(I do all my own) and absolutely love music and play guitar. I actually built my own guitar and like making random things that usually never work🤣

I play video games occasionally but am mostly outdoors 🤣

I have a snake named Basil and a horse named Dexter

If you like doing any of those things and need a new buddy or just like talking about random stuff, would love to get to know you, just send me a DM.

Hi everyone, I just need a little advice regarding enclosure specs.

Just so you guys know all the info.
This enclosure is for my 4yo corn snake (Basil), I rescued him nearly a year ago from some kid who didn’t want him anymore, they had in a 70cm x 40cm enclosure, with no lights, no heating, no humidity control, a plastic tub the size of my hand as a water bowl, a hide that was a third of his coiled up size and they were feeding him way too much and he was overweight.

He is doing amazing now and I’ve built this enclosure for him, the enclosure is 2 meters long, 50cm wide and 50cm tall, as you can see in the pictures I’ve added some nice live plants (snake safe) a little climbing section, a water area all the way on the right big enough to fit him with a little waterfall and a mist maker which i use in tandem with fans attached to the ventilation holes to control the humidity but it stays between 50 and 60 majority of the time, and all the way on the left is a cave hide I made for him, his bedding is coconut husk, coco peat, vivarium soil mix, jungle floor mix and some moss, it’s nice and loose so he can dig around, I have also recently gotten some more bark hides placed around the enclosure and I’m going to add some more ground cover, he has a heat mat under a slate rock for belly heat.

Now after I got him, I had him in an enclosure where the heat pad was more than enough to heat up the ambient air and make it nice and warm, and where I live it’s usually more than hot enough in the summer to keep the ambient temperature correct, but now he’s in this massive thing and it’s the middle of winter and the heat pad is just not cutting it, I want to know what heating options for ambient temperature would be the best for this size enclosure, based on the research I’ve done so far a ceramic heat emitter with a day and night dimmerstat for temperature and light control seems to be a good option but I want to hear from you guys what you think would be good. Thanks
