How does this seem to you...Tank Set-Up?

[jessica87]

Having my BP housed in a 20-gallon terrarium. I've done a lot of reading on tank set ups and understanding humidity. The way my tank set up is: I have the cool side anywhere between 80-84 using the (60watt) red infrared bulb with light dimmer. Now for the hot side it's 93 in her hide and on top and around the area it stays between 84-88 but I'am just using the UTH (now)......When I 1st purchased my BP I was using the red bulb and the uth on the hot side but it was very hot reaching 93-96 with ease and at that time she was always on the cool side. Moving the bulb and only using it on the cool side I've notice her now going in her hot side hide now and seems to be doing much better. Now she stays on her cool side mostly trough the day and night falls she turns to the hot side......My air temp stays in the range of 77-81. She mainly stays in her hides 24/7 sometimes adventuring out last night I think she was drinking water for the 1st time I guess I would like to know if my set up seems pretty decent and if my hot side is hot enough...


Sorry for all these posts lately with me: I'am just making sure that I have everything under control and I can worry least. I have a problem to always check temps and humidity levels and I always seem to think of other questions to ask.

Sounds good to me. How's your humidity staying?

Sounds good to me. The main thing is that your snake is acting like a snake, which generally means you have a happy snake
