    You’ll need to get pics on photo hosting site then use the image tool to load them or get the Tapatalk app and load them directly from your phone...will let others chime in on the setup...temps seem ok...

    Temps seem okay. I would say you could go up 2 degrees (to 80F) on the cool side and down 2 degrees on the hot side (to 88-90F). However, temps are okay, assuming taken properly (with a heat gun for ground heat), and ambient temps are no lower than about 78F.

    I post to the gallery here on the site, copy image location by right clicking on it, then click on the picture icon (rightish side of middle toolbars) and paste in.

    More info and picture would be helpful.

    As above ... even I can post photos using TapaTalk:)

    My question is what kind of thermometer you're using to take the temps - especially the hot spot under the warm hide .https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...db31a326b9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ff7b09f29e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3eb11b9f3.jpeg

    Or one of these digital temp guns https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...29d3a1f019.jpg

Is this going to fool my system into thinking its actualy cooler than it is and over run the heat sid of the tank hotter than it should be . Or is the actual temp in the tank dropping that quick and every thing is working ok. I dont want to stress my snake out or over cook him humidity is set to 60% and humidifier turns on ever couple mins for about 10 seconds and shuts off. Is this system ok for this kind of snake or did i over do it.

    Real quick i joined this sight to learn a thing or to to hear what experienced people have to tell me. Maybe help an animal live a good life. What i have found is a sight that wont let me post pics . Had to install a third party app just to show what i had going on. Since i installed the app 5 hours ago i have no controle of myh phone and all my accounts have been compromised. if you actualy have animals i hope they die soon with you.

    Hacked is what ive been
