Making sure everything is Legit

Or light diffuser. I will use that in my sump for my big tank.

I dunno, if you wanna make more work for yourself, be my guest lol. Have fun when she poos in it the first time :)

So I went out and got the Accurite device you told me about. So the prong I put under the bedding above the heat pad? or in the basking spot? and as long as its 90+ degrees then that is good?

The device itself measures the other temp and the humidity. is this right?

Im going to be getting a new fogger, and a bigger heat pad on wednesday.
Also I will be rigging up the water portion to make it more manageable and less of a potential threat to my snake.

In addition I will be getting a rock bowl to hold water that I can change out easily too. So she will have more than one water source.

Sound good????

88-90F is all you need

Yes. The probe should read around 90 give or take a couple degrees where the snake lays on the hot side. The other temp the unit reads is the ambient temp. The humidity is the bottom reading.

This hot side temp is important for proper digestion. The ambient temp and humidity are important to have spot-on to prevent sickness like respiratory infections which can happen rather quickly if it's not just right.

The snake will naturally thermoregulate itself by moving from one side to the other as it needs. It's also important to have small, identical hides on each side for this purpose so the snake does not have to chose security over the proper temp it needs.

Which heat mat do you guys recomend?
Im looking at the Large Zilla Heat mat 24watt 8x18 inch.
In addition I am now running a 75W red Heat bulb

Dont forget, that if the surface of the bedding is 90, Can bet the glass is pushing 97F+. Be sure to even it out so the glass is never over 94F and your fine.
