Need Help!

Outside of the one thing I have for him to climb on, this is pretty much what I have, maybe not exact but similar or same.

http://www.petsmart.com/product/inde...4&lmdn=Reptile (large one)

http://www.petsmart.com/product/inde...ductId=3569157 (for infrared)

http://www.petsmart.com/product/inde...ductId=3577443 (something similar to this for UVB)

http://www.petsmart.com/product/inde...&lmdn=Pet+Type (just not as high a wattage)

http://www.petsmart.com/product/inde...&lmdn=Pet+Type (hood like this for top)

http://www.petsmart.com/product/inde...&lmdn=Pet+Type (this kind of light for night time)

i wouldnt even waste your time with a day bulb you can just leave the night bulb in all the time. How are you monitoring temps. i have a ball in a 20 long and a 60 watt heat bulb would never heat the hot side to aproriate temps

Terribly round ones i'm afraid.

Pics!!!!

ok first things first,
Get rid of the half long as a hide! bps do terrible in them. second go out and get thermometers(act-rite at walmart for$12) with probes, the terrible circle are very inaccurate, how big is your bp? that you even have a large hide for him? i would ditch the lights esp the compact florescent, they can be very dangerous to the eyes of reptiles. go get a UTH and a thermostat and cover 90% of the tank with a piece of plexi glass to keep temps and humidity.

try posting pics

Hi,

You need to try and get a good idea of the temps where the snake is. Most people make the mistake of putting those round ones half way up the wall or similar.

Here's a post I made on how to post pics.

Hi,

Well the first thing is to get them hosted somewhere online.

You can put them in your gallery here - this tutorial is a bit old but the basic procedure is the same I think.

And here is another one in video form that might also help.

You can also use a site like http://photobucket.com/

They should also have tutorials to help you.

If you still have trouble just ask any member of staff and we will do our best to get you sorted. :gj:

Where did you get him again? It really doesn't sound right but pics might help a lot.

I'll try to remember the stuff to replace. I did put the temp/humidity things too high probably. closer to the top. Got him for $50 at a pet store. Had the big log thing because someone gave it to me.

Still young. 2 ft long maybe?

Looks like a young snake correct. imo the whole setup might be to big for him
