Herpstat makes the best thermostats i've seen on the market. they are WELL worth the money and will last FOREVER!

if you cannot afford a Herpstat, start saving up and use a JumpStart thermostat for the time-being. the Jumpstart should not be relied on as a permanent solution: they're cheap and eventually WILL fail. i have not had one fail on me yet but i don't use them long enough to find out; longest i used one was 2 years.

consider the fact that the snake will be in your care for at LEAST 20 years and the price of a Herpstat is certainly justifiable.

much more cluttered and looking good! did you manage to get a thermostat yet? that is necessary.
i see you have two hides that aren't identical, and one is open on both ends: SOP is to use two identical hides to lessen the stress of the snake feeling they have to choose; they do tend to pick a favorite/the one they feel is most secure. i have 3 identical hides for Yellow and he still has a favorite.

yup! once you dial everything in it all gets much easier. you're almost there! 😊

you're definitely well on your way!! Keep up the good work.

Hmmm, nice, you have a bunch of tatts and named your snake after the Allfather... love it, hits close to home, I got my eye on you...

As I mentioned in the other thread, I hot-glued my Herpstat probe to the UTH and it works great. I also put a piece of duct tape over it just as a precaution, but it's really not needed, the high temp hot glue works great on its own. If you get a Herpstat, they advise against using foil tape over the probe... duct tape also works great to secure the probe wire, electrical tape not so god, it will come off the glass...
