I've been in the reptile business a long long time. I have vended at many expos and have had over the years over a thousand members of these reptile sites partying, sleeping over etc in my house. Name names? Where to start? Why bother? It's not like lizard keeping is some great secret society. Who's your "cage guru? lol 150 surface temp will cook meat on a snake. If you have to have it that hot to warm the rest of the cage, there lies why your monitor setup isn't good for your snake

Maybe you should build...oh I don't know...a snake cage?
