    Got my tubs last night. And am moving into my new place over the weekend. I'll take pictures and post them up when I get it done.

    Kudos to you for first asking for help and then secondly, for following up on it and acting.

    okay got the tubs setup, all snakes separated, dual hides on each side, four digital thermometers with probes and each tub has a ZooMed UTH with water bowl in the middle. Im also using a zoomed rheostat to help control temps. Having a few issues getting the surface temp to around 92 and the UTH temp is around 100 when put directly on it. but i'll figure that out, pictures to come tommorrow!

    Also, hopefully you fixed it, but not only are those gauges not really accurate, but they are WAY too high, you need to put the gauges at the level of the snake, it serves no point to know what the humidity & temperature that high is, you need to know what it's at within the snakes level.

    Oh yeah. I fixed it all. Each snake now has a 30 gallon plastic tub. Zoomed UTH, Thermometer, and Im using a Zoomed Rheostat to dial in on the correct temp. Did some work after my last post, one snake ive dialed in to around 93 degrees warmside, the other is still sitting at a low 88 but I can amp that up a few degrees here. If it wasnt for all the suggestions I probably wouldnt have done anything. :) I'll have pics tonight for sure.

    30 GALLON? Or 30 Quart? My largest females are in 41 quart tubs. I can't imagine how large a 30 gallon tub is.

    Its like a rubbermade clear tub. It is most likely 30 quarts but I will have pictures tonight to post once I move my last snake into the remaining tub. Im really proud of it and really apprecaite all the suggestions. Will be nice to look back at the thread and see the change from start to finish/change.

    Okay I got some pictures of my new habitats for my lovely's. A far change from what they once were. Please feel free to comment :) I got the temps just right finally. between 91.5 and 92.5 on the warm side for belly heat, and around 82 on the coolside belly with water between. Ambient air temperature is 75. :) Busted out some rheostats, and some decent digital thermoms with probes.

    Sent my last post too soon and my edit button seems to have dissappeared! :) But I wanted to thank everyone again for the help.
