Thanks for your help! I will definitely make sure to give it meals based on that. And the first time I fed it a silverside piece, the snake got a little bit of substrate stuck to it, he managed to wipe it off and I picked almost all of it off the chunk before it was fully swallowed, but so now I feed it in a plastic tub I put into the tank. And I'll keep an eye on the temps then, worst comes to worst I'll downgrade in wattage.

Thank you!
