Okay, I switched my sons snake from a glass aquarium to a see-through plastic container/Tub. It's about 2 1/2 ft long by 13 high.
We did this so keeping humidity would be easier, and so we wouldn't need a heat lamp, just an UTH.
SO, Humidity is great, BUT, the temp in the tub on the cold side remains at 70!!!!
WHY??? I don't get it!
We also bought a digital probe thermometer at Canadian tire for the hot side, and I don't think its working properly, it will read 100 but when I place 2 other thermometers to double check, those ones read,90. when the probe reads 90, the others read 80, and the floor feels pretty cold.
So should I just assume that this probe is sucky?
Does anyone else have this problem as far as keeping the cold side at 80??
Also, my UTH is about half the size of the tub, I know its suppose to be 1'4 the size but we pealed it of the Tank and reused it. (I did this like the video posted on here, worked great). So being that it's 1'2 the size of the tub, one would think there would be no problem keeping the temp at 80 on the cold side.
Advice please from others using Tubs.
