    How is this setup? Anything I should change?
    So I went and got my bp semii some new additions and set up her enclosure last night after cleaning. I got new humidity and temp gages. A night heat bulb, and a couple more hides. The humidity stayed between 50-60% but the temp is only reaching 85 degrees. I want to bump up the humidity a little bit because she's going into shed. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...1e8f681257.jpg

    Not pictured is the screen top which is covered in aluminum foil, with vents cut for air circulation, on the right, there's a hole cut for the heat lamp.

    You asked.............
    Take the gauges to the trash, they are worthless. Go digital with a remote probe to monitor both sides of the tank. (also you want to know humidity and temp at snake level, on the ground. Both heat and humidity rise)
    Send the hides right behind them. You want hides small enough with a tight fit to your snake and only ONE opening.

    What is that under the right side of the tank?
    Are you venting for an UTH?
    Is there a thermostat attached to the UTH?
    What is the temperature of the glass the UTH is attached to?

    Nice to see you putting in some effort to make your snake comfortable. The peeping tom skeleton made me laugh, very festive. I just figured I'd offer some suggestions in the form of links.

    I think your other thread said you were using an UTH. When people need thermostats on a budget I usually see this one mentioned.

    You'll need something to measure the temperature on the glass right above your UTH. You could get this probed thermometer/hygrometer unit. Or you could get a temp gun which is handy for multiple purposes. Temp gun 1 or Temp gun 2.

    Also If you are using a UTH you'll want to get some of those little rubber feet people put on the bottom of chairs to keep them from scratching wood floors. Put them on the bottom four corners of the tank so that the UTH gets ventilation and isn't a fire hazard.
