Working on getting a cottonmouth as first hot snake.
Got some questions bedding and heat temps I've done a ass load of reading but Google is useless as some say a hot spot of 97 and a cool side of around 70 then others say a hot spot of 80 and a cool side of 65.
Some say the snake getting 3 to 4 feet adult then others say 6 feet
Some say they need a wet enclosure and other say to make a section of the tank as a pool or "pond"
