you need to add the water bowl or you are wasting your time.

Did you cover the entire top? The snake needs air to breathe so I hope not

I’m on Long Island so similar temps to you. People make glass tanks work but they take effort and tweaking.

There is a guy it in here named Craig F. He gave me good advice on beefing up glass because I like you am a long time aquarist and have many spares. I currently only use one glass tank and it’s for my mandarin rat which has no heat sources so it’s a diff application.

Did you look on craigs list , every time I go to use a glass tank I find a great deal in CL and don’t.

At the moment no, the room is usually any where between 75-80 currently. I thought about using a CHE but read that i may not need one so i haven't purchased it yet.

And i have been experimenting with the top covered in plastic with holes in it and without plastic completely on top to see what yields the best. The UTH keeps falling off of the bottom and that threw off my results lol

It looks rubbish , it makes your snakes look bad by kinda sucking the colour out of them and it's useless for holding humidity.
Also he gets all over the house and carpets .

Agree! Aspen is pretty ugly lookin but that’s what I had 🤷🏻:cens0r:♀️
I’m soooo much happier with the cypress mulch for all of those reasons!
