Yes, since the probe is what detects the temp by covering it with tape your trapping heat inside giving an inaccurate reading which will eventually lead to heating incorrectly. You can put foil tape right on wire before the probe sensor.

I also agree with the above, get some reptile basics hides.

Medium should be good for your snake. Read the measurements and make sure it will fit in tub, should fit but just make sure.

BP like very tight hide in general tight to almost to small generally work great, or it might be one of those that have an hide and don't care to use it, can be both.

What will be a good indication on whether your BP is doing well or not is feeding, he should be a voracious feed at that age if not than something is off.

Is it normal for the temperature to be a degree or two different from each shelves. I repositioned the probe as recommended by chrid 16371 . Not every using a rack unit iam assuming that it can take a little for the temperature to settle?http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...282a0e1323.jpg

yes, there could be some variation between shelves. the most important thing is that the heat tape is properly regulated by a thermostat so none of the shelves will overheat and burn your animals.

Just talked to Chris @ c serpents he says that flex watt is making it that now...
Middle shelf is where the probe is and it second warmest with bottom being the warmest and top the coolest.. I have given it time to settle in temperature I guess I should give half a day then check??
