    Is this a proper tank setup? Albino bp

    20 gallon tank. 50 watt daylight bulb. Aspen bedding. Water dish. Multiple hides.

    I have a uth, but no regulator. Not sure if I want to use it just yet.

    Basking spot temp: ~105 f°
    Ambient temp: ~80 f° - Humidity: ~50%

    New here and not sure if this is the place to post these questions. Any comments/suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

    Temps are way too hot and MUST be regulated proper range vary on average from 76/80 on the cool side and and 86/90 on the warm side

    Regarding hides... You want an identical one on the cool and warm side so the snake doesn't have to choose. If it's more comfortable and likes one of those hides better, it's going to neglect itself in favour of staying in that hide. For example, if it likes the hide on the cool side better, it's not going to use the one on the warm side and self-regulate its temp properly.

    Choose hides that are snug and touch the snake on all sides so it feels secure. I love the black reptile basics hides. All my snakes adore them!

    Also, I think you need to clutter the tank up a lot more. It's really open. I'd cover 3 sides of the tank with something like paper or tinfoil. Add more foliage and decoration. It'll help the snake feel more secure and comfortable.

    You also want a digital temperature/humidity gauge. The type you have is really inaccurate.
