    No pic yet :(

    Upload it to photobucket, then use the Forum link for the pic and post the link here :)

    If you're unsure how to do that:

    I had to take a retake to make sure the post said "Normal" because she is beautiful!

    Without glass.

    Any ideas/dangers/thoughts/opinions
    anything really, the temperature varies as i do not have a thermostat yet from 86.5-93.4
    86.5 normally being the temperature drop at about 3am-9am

    any opinion/thought is appreciated

    Are you using a UTH? If you are you needed a thermostat yesterday.

    Look like the heat lamp inside the cage could burn the snake.

    Nah, just the heat lamp, i like the heat light as it puts the ambient temperature up, i live in England, so its definitely needed ha!
    I dont mind humidity, i mist it 2/3 times a day, it really doesnt bother me keeping humidity up

    I thought that, so far, no burns, but i will be purchasing one of those heat lamp protectors in 2/3 days :)

    Very nice set up! I agree with above - only concerned with the heat lamp, too. What kind of protector are you buying?

    That should do. I used to use that style of bulb in a fixture outside my cage and one day I got curious as to the temps those bulbs run at so I took a reading with my IR gun and was shocked to see the thing said 348 degrees F. at that temp if your snake decided to wrap up on it, it would be fatal. I would hate to see you lose such a pretty girl over a $7.00 part. Cage looks good though.
