Okay, so today I woke up early and went straight to shopping for my bp.. fist off was wal mart .. believe it or not i found EXACTLY what i was looking for first thing.. i got the thermometer.. its an ACURITE it has a wire that runs into the cage and sticks to the glass.. * I STUCK IT UNDER THE LIGHT and ABOVE THE UTH ABOUT 1.5" DOWN THE TANK * (in the pics if you look above the driftwood it is sticking behind the trees there, im using trees to cover the wire)

I bought FOAM poster board to go around the cage to help insulate it (it dont look the best in the world but you cant see it unless your moving the cage to look ill add pic's of that too) then on top of the cage I took the remaining poster board and wrapped it in foil except where the light is at.... to help with humidity/heat.

then i got him fake trees from wal mart as well... then off to the pet store to find my last few items.. it was hard finding one open on Sunday.. and i had to go to one that id rather have not gone to because of the unsanitary conditions. but i did it anyways to get a light bulb and cave...

i couldn't find a red bulb there but i went back to wal mart and got a "reptile rays ge brand black light night time heat lite" it states that it is for night time use with snakes and reptiles. HOPE THIS IS OKAY SINCE I COULDN'T GET A RED ONE?

i actually bought 2 caves i know i was supposed to get 2 of the same but they didnt have 2 of anything there.. so i got 2 different kinds... i really nice wood/bark tree trunk cave and a plain wood cave thingy (not really for a snake) all i could get to fit in the tank was the small one.. sooooo i did the best with what i had.

i do plan to get a new 20-30 Long tank sometime next month. so this is really just his "FOR THE MOMENT" cage..

anyway. her are the pic's of everything i done and you can all give me your 2 cents worth.. the thermometer reads 81.3 now so its a wee bit warmer but my humidity is STILL JUST AT 30%.. so im worried about that ive already misted once too and it didnt help any at all.... the thermometer's been in there for an hour now.


SO C'MON LET'S HEAR OPINIONS AND WHAT I STILL NEED TO DO









BEHIND THE TREES IS MY THEMOMETER









MY SUCKY ATTEMPT AT FOAM BOARD INSULATION



RIGHT NOW IT IS READING 81.5 DEGREE AND ONLY 29% HUMIDITY
