    that is not warm enough! 32c is more 90's like. The uth should be outside.

    Undertank heaters are all around the same quality, so it's just up to you to make sure you regulate it with a thermostat.

    Yes, undertank heaters ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS go on the outside of the tank, on the bottom. You would put it on the warm end to make it warm, yes.

    Your cool end would be about 80 F, which is perfect, and the warm end is 89 F, which is also good, so I don't believe you'll need an undertank heater to supplement your heat.

    41 C is more like 105 F. 32 C is pretty much exactly 90.

    why dont you put it inside the tank and put something to cover it to safely defend your snake from burns like plastic or thiner piece of wood? would be easier to control tank temps i had to do that with my vision tank. or get a radiant heat panel

    Your teps are pretty good 32C = 89.6 F and 27C = 80.6F. I know some people are big proponents of belly heat but there are others that think it does not make that big a difference. I think for a snake that size only having 1 movement a month does not sound that abnormal to me.

    i thought once a month was bad do you think his feeding his right?
