Heh, thanks... I figured it was a good example of the practicality of keeping snakes... soap dishes 4/$1.00 at the dollar store. She had it until she started busting it open.

4 snakes have had them as hides and they are the best!

Yeah... she is an angel alright... her name is Violaine, but we call her Violence most of the time. (or Violent Femme). Everyone needs a hot goth mess of a teen in the house and she is ours. She may be pink but is soooooooo dark. :)

Ask Argentra to send you a copy of her PM. The foil cover helps maintain the proper humidity (screen tops let a lot of it escape and it can be a pain keeping it up). Her guide shows you how to secure the foil to the lid permanently. It's very helpful. :)

Some reviews would be cool, not trying to steal a thread. Just new to keeping reptiles. And thought this thread would be an opportunity to get criticized etc...
Had this little one for about 1.5 months.
My first too.

29C is only about 84F; are those the ambients? Also 71% the humidity? :O Wow, that's high! :O
How are you heating the cage with all of that substrate in there??? Is it just that one light? You're in Taiwan, right? What's the ambient weather like there??

The photo was taken at 2am, so it is 'night' temps and humidity! 29C is on the cool side of the tank. Taiwan is very hot in the summer. Everyday is 30-32c, ALL day, till early hours it drops, as you can see, not much.
Funny enough, my girlfriend just told me in our room upstairs, it's 34C this morning!
Also, there is no covering at all over the screen lid, and i never spray the bark!

I only use the light, because in summer, the other stuff would be a waste! UTH, CHE etc.
I have the light on a dimmer as well, it's turned just over a quarter, and it comes on for no more than 5 minutes to heat the hot side up.
At the moment it's mid-day, and the 'cool' side is 30c with 65% humidity.
