At long as your house heat doesnt go below 60 degrees all together you dont need the light or the heat. Cause I have my three corn snakes in a 55 gallon tank with no "hot spot" or a light and they are doing just fine. Only thing is that I was told if I read it right was that when you use regular heat ( from your house) and not the hot spot lights or heat emitters it takes longer for the food to digest. Otherwise its ok to use regular house heat. However you NEED an under tank heater that has to be on the tank.
: I have also read, I am trying to learn all I
: can by reading all I can get my hands on,
: some say the Corn Snake needs 10-12 hours of
: light/heat.
: Others say not so much the light but the
: heat.
:
: So which is it or both.?
: Do i need to have a light on the snake as
: much as the heat.?
: Right now I have the fish tank, 15-20 gallon
: size set up as the following...
: Under the tank heater on one end and a
: hiding place that is placed so half is
: heated side and half is not.
: The I have a light buld that puts out heat
: and not light on the other end of the tank
: and it has a bowl of water and also I took
: some fake vine that you get at the
: departments stores, I have three of them
: hanging from the screen top, so the snake
: can crawl up on it.
: I have a baby albino corn snake and it loves
: to crawl and sit on the ledge that is
: between the tank lip and the screen lid.
: Is this all sound OK or what should I change
: if anything.?

: Thanks
