How to Use a 50-Gallon Heat Pad for Snakes
- 1). Tilt the snake's tank away from you by about 45 degrees, allowing you easy access to the underside.
- 2). Strip the adhesive backing off of the heating pad.
- 3). Place the sticky side of the pad to one side of the bottom of the tank and press it against the glass securely. This side of the tank will be the snake's "warm side," where it can heat up its body. The other side will be the cool side.
- 4). Place a checker at each corner of the bottom of the tank, raising it a few centimeters above level, so that the heat produced by the pad can vent and not crack the glass.
- 5). Plug the heating pad into a power outlet, it should gradually begin to warm up.
