I'm so sorry, but this happened.

I took Geno to the vet, and he is perfectly healthy! Same with May, they are both doing great. Their whole set-up and everything is managed and I have them under control!I'm sure there sure there are 1,000,000 things you can point out that I did wrong or reasons I am an unresponsible snake owner, and I want to apologize in advance. I definitely regret rushing into it. Thanks :sigh2::worry:
About 10 hours ago, I had no interest what-so-ever in purchasing any type if boa. At the reptile show, the plan was to pick up a hognose, if any reptile. Well, they didn't have hognoses so I was just going to pick up some food for my ball pythons. One thing led to another and soon I was holding a baby female Central American boa. I kind of fell in love instantly, and my hognose set up at home just needed a couple tweaks to house her. I paid for her, got her some hoppers, and everything I needed for her tank. She is a very beautiful normal. 61g. But, I just have her a UTH and the temperatures are 76°F on the cool side, 81°F on the warm side, and 125°F right above the UTH. HOT! I know, but I'm not too worried because 1: I have a thick layer of aspen (Due to the possibility of a hognose lol), and 2: I bought the UTH thermometer previously, and It's actually supposed to be here tomorrow. Should I unplug the UTH until it gets here? Honestly, it wouldn't be until around 4:30 pm because I wouldn't be home. What do you think? I also need name suggestions! Pictures are coming.
(Oh and I forgot, I was going to put some kind of cover, like the fish tank backgrounds, around the back and sides so she doesn't feel so exposed in her glass tank :))

There she is :)https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...100f5fd9f7.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e0656f3e3c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d2f0dc4696.jpg

I am not qualified nor an expert by an means but I would not run a UTH without it having a thermostat to keep it controlled, even a you nose would need this I un plug and wait but hopefully one of the incredible peeps that are great with such things will chime in. Good luck gorgeous animal :P

Thank you! I will most likely turn it off for tonight :) I just don't want her to get too cold during the day tomorrow :worry:

Unplug it.

Warm Side: 84-86F
Cold Side: 75-78F
Hot Spot: 88-90F
Ambient: 80F
Humidity: 60-80% (I like to keep humidity around 70-75% and 65% at the lowest.)

Feed him one hopper mouse every10 days or every 2 weeks depending on how conservative you want to be.

Even though now that I think about it the only way you know the mat temp for sure has to be a temp gun lol

Sorry my phone was having a fit lol better a little chilly than burned righted maybe a space heater to warm the room would be safer? Best wishes :)

Thank you! That's very helpful, I am needing a better hygrometer:upset: She ate 3 days ago, so I'll feed her next Wednesday? Thank you very much, I'm unplugging it now :)

I actually just bought those a few weeks ago and I like them well enough. They all had the same humidty reading right out of the box which was nice and a first when buying multiples at once.
