Looks very realistic! How are you controlling and checking temperature?

I have a temp/humi gauge on the hot end and an UTH under the hide on the cool end and a temp gun to check at a glance!!

As long as you know that's not an optimal situation, and are aware of the risks involved.

Alright now only one of them is in there!

Slim is right. As long as you know the risks (which are having the possibility of two sick animals instead of one and feeding them in seperate containers), you should be fine. I kept one of my pairs together successfully for about a year and a half before I seperated them. However, from what I've heard from other keepers, having two males together could lead to them fighting. So just be aware of that.

A lot of people are against keeping two animals in the same terrarium, but I've done it very successfully and from MY personal experience i don't see anything wrong with it. I know most will say that it's not ideal, but it's also not ideal in keeping them in a tub for all their life. I think it's more of a personal choice.

Is the name Dexter, by chance? ;)
Looks lovely!

I noticed earlier that you said you have a temp "guage"... does this happen to be a thermoSTAT? That is needed to control the heat output for the UTH! :)

Yes his name is dexter:) and I have a towel between the bottom of the tank and the pad to keep it the perfect temp! Not too hot not too cold!

I agree with NH93. A thermostat is a MUST when dealing with any UTH. Having a towel between the UTH and the bottom of the tank is not ideal and might be a fire hazard. You can get a Hydrofarm thermostat for like $35 bucks on Amazon. It's definitely worth not having your snake hurt.
