CORN SNAKE ENCLOSURE GUIDE

When setting up your corn snake enclosure there are a few different options for heating; basking bulbs, heat projector bulbs, radiant heat panels, and belly heat. To learn more about the different types of heating and how to use them, click here. 

These layouts and product recommendations are just a baseline and general guide. Reptile keeping is an art and requires experimenting along with close monitoring to find out what bulb wattage and configuration will work best in your application. We always recommend manually checking with an infrared temp gun and a high quality thermostat to monitor and regulate temps.
