Dont get to crazy with all the Thermometers hahaha that snake will be all tied up in wires in a couple weeks when it starts coming out at night hahahaha.
Try and keep things as simple as posible. When it pisses all over your going to be pulling it all apart to clean.

Yeah , I use a glue -gun which is very hard wearing but can be removed if really necessary , it only takes seconds to harden as well.

Update!!!!

Got my t-stat in and installed, moved sensors and stuff around and covered three walls of the tank. now i gotta wait for temps and humidity to stabilize and finally start fine tuning. I've put this poor girl through hell the past few days I'm hoping she will finally be comfortable and hide. Right now she is still hanging out on the top of the grapevine but I can't plane her after being moved here, put over there, noise, movement all around. So I'm just going to leave her be, she is overdue for a feeding but I highly doubt she will eat.

Here are some pics

Well dang. . . I I sat and thought about it and I figured I would give a feeding a try. . . And wouldn't you know it. . . Bam!!! Struck right away!!! I am so so happy that was indescribable, I just hope I didn't get to large of a rat. . . Looks kinda big now that she is wrapped up on it

Great job!! She is one happy snake if she ate then went into her hide... To cool :gj:

I cannot thank you all enough, I'm sure she would have died had I not found this forum. My next question is how do I get my humidity levels to stabilize. Just when I think it is good, it drops to 50% so I mist and it shoots to 80%. First off, is this wild swing in humidity going to affect her negatively? And second, how do I get it to stabilize to 60-70%? I'm thinking of getting the fogger kit from the pet store but I know it shouldn't be needed

50% is a min but not terrible at all. You will hear different opinions too. I know one guy that keeps his enclosure at 70%, thats high I think and mine is only 65% for 2 weeks around shed time. I cant comment on a fogger, I have never used them... Your biggest problem is probably your Heat Lamp/CHE. I have a 48" long Aquarium I use and my Humidity is 58% 24/7 with 1 water bowl, Radiant Heat Panel that covers 1/2 the screen and the other 1/2 of the screen is covered with Dura Plex Plexiglass.
I think if you mist once/Twice a day youll be fine..if you could add a big water bowl that would help but your dealing with a 10G tank at this point right?
id hold off on a misting system... You already have that enclosure packed. Get yourself a 48" length enclosure then tweak things... I always see 30G longs and 40G longs (4'Long ) on craigslist with a screened lid for cheap once people are done playing snake master ..sometimes Petsmart & Petco ect..have sales for $1 a gallon...Anyway you decide whats best. Id wait & buy a bigger enclosure in a month. Save $20 a week then if needed ad things you need.
