I know the hides arent the exactly same. but the other bowl needs to be cut and was used as the emergency water bowl for our spotted salamanders.

Substrate is a 50/50 mix of aspen and cypress
The plants are fake, just something else for me to clean and disinfect haha
Hot side temps are a little high, but Im going out today to get a dimmer
switch until I can get a thermostat because Im terrified of her getting burned.
Humidity is being a pain also, and shes in shed. so I need to get something to put over a portion of the top and I dont really want to do plastic wrap so, yeahhh lol.

Anyway, thanks for looking!

Try aluminum foil for the tops, to help maintain humidity. Mist a few times a day too, or get moss. I noticed it helped bring down some of my temperatures, temporarily. My setup is almost identical.

Do you notice that your BP has a preferred hiding spot/side? Or does he switch off. Reason why, I was curious, I have two different hides too, and he sticks to the hot side. So I was wondering if that was normal.

Thanks for the tip :)


& when she was in the 10g and the hides were differant, she would switch off, but I only noticed it once. Now shes been hanging out in her hot side, but she seems to prefer it over the cool side anyway. my guess it that as long as all your temps are good, and the hides are secure enough your BP just prefers the warm side.

this wasnt mentioned but 3 sides of that tank need to be covered with something so the snake doesnt feel "exposed". i'm using a double sided paper background for my terrarium.
covering 3 sides also helps with the insulation somewhat so theres no heat escaping through the glass.
great lookin' set up though.:gj:

Right now theres a dark blanket over the whole thing (except for part of the top for ventalation purposes) until I get out for it, thanks for the reminder though!
