    yes but the issue with that (i believe) is that it was quite close to the water bowl due to small tank space so im getting a new one friday. I will find the video and see if I'm doing the probe setup wrong somehow, thank you.

    This is an amzing post I seemed to not have seen when I got my first snake. I'm supposed to get a tank and some stuff from a friend soon-ish so I'll have to see if I can use it in the end.

    How would someone up the ambiant temp of a tub wothout a space heater? I have found out that I am at the top of my amps for the room I have for my quarantine and cannot get one to function without slowing everything else.... I am getting a infrared lamp but no idea how to place it to not burn the plastic tub?

    Tubs are normally used with a rack system. Racks usually use some sort of heat tape to provide heat. I have no experience with racks. You may need to look for a thread about racks or make a new thread to have your questions answered. I do not think you can safely use a heat lamp with a tub.

    First time looking at the setup, I read through 8 pages of the comments and haven't found a definitive answer so I'm sorry if someone has already asked this but, are you supposed to leave the infrared light on all day and rely on ambient daylight for the day cycle? I'm thinking about using this setup but the tank would get much too cold in my nights without the lamp.

    The ambient light of the room will be plenty to give them some sort of a day/night cycle. They don't really need this cycle to the extent that many other sun-loving reptiles do. That's why rack systems, without any lights at all, tend to work so well for these guys. :gj:

    Visible light on a day and night cycle is for you to see if you have your enclosure setup as a display. I would run your infrared 24/7 to maintain heat. Find the post with the video about setup and see if it helps answer questions.

    What size tank.?

    Is your lid covered to help hold in heat and humidity ie tinfoil mod?

    Wattage of your heat bulb?

    Size of your water bowel, does it hold a lot of water but does not have surface area? You want more surface area like a pan of water instead of a pitcher of water.
