Hot side is 90°-92°, and cool side is 78°. Going to post pics of the set up, any feedback is appreciated. Can't get pics uploaded yet??? Any info on how

    You’ll need to get pics on photo hosting site then use the image tool to load them or get the Tapatalk app and load them directly from your phone...will let others chime in on the setup...temps seem ok...

    Temps seem okay. I would say you could go up 2 degrees (to 80F) on the cool side and down 2 degrees on the hot side (to 88-90F). However, temps are okay, assuming taken properly (with a heat gun for ground heat), and ambient temps are no lower than about 78F.

    I post to the gallery here on the site, copy image location by right clicking on it, then click on the picture icon (rightish side of middle toolbars) and paste in.

    More info and picture would be helpful.

    As above ... even I can post photos using TapaTalk:)

    My question is what kind of thermometer you're using to take the temps - especially the hot spot under the warm hide .https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...db31a326b9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ff7b09f29e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3eb11b9f3.jpeg

    Or one of these digital temp guns https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...29d3a1f019.jpg

Is this going to fool my system into thinking its actualy cooler than it is and over run the heat sid of the tank hotter than it should be . Or is the actual temp in the tank dropping that quick and every thing is working ok. I dont want to stress my snake out or over cook him humidity is set to 60% and humidifier turns on ever couple mins for about 10 seconds and shuts off. Is this system ok for this kind of snake or did i over do it.

    Real quick i joined this sight to learn a thing or to to hear what experienced people have to tell me. Maybe help an animal live a good life. What i have found is a sight that wont let me post pics . Had to install a third party app just to show what i had going on. Since i installed the app 5 hours ago i have no controle of myh phone and all my accounts have been compromised. if you actualy have animals i hope they die soon with you.

    Hacked is what ive been

    Hundreds of us have been using this site, and posting plenty of photos without a problem.
    it sounds like you are just computer illiterate.

    Seriously dude? Wishing us and our animals death is completely uncalled for. We are not responsible for your bad judgement or bad security practices. Everyone here in the community is willing to help when it comes to snake keeping but frankly with the attitude you just showed we're going to be less inclined.

    Good luck with your snake on your own. You'll need it.

    AMEN!

    As evidenced in this thread, people here are happy to help keepers and their animals have healthier and more fulfilling lives. We want keepers to enjoy the hobby and have a great experience; this site is a huge resource for people who want help. It's also a tight community of people who regularly post.

    Do not expect to be one of the people we go out of the way for.

    Also, your post was exceptionally rude and misdirected. You are targeting those who tried to help you. You should be ashamed.

    I don't actually think he's referring to TapaTalk as he didn't name it and would have done ....I've used TapaTalk free and pro for years and never had one single issue .

    I frequent many forums using TapaTalk and dread to think what life would be without it ... The easy photo upload option is just a bonus..

    While I understand you may be one of those special people that is used to get their way all the time this will not be one of those time and your comment not only violated our TOS but was uncalled for.

    If something as trivial as posting picture is such an issue and makes you loose your temper in the way you did, then our forum might not be the right fit for you.

    We do not allow picture upload simply because, picture upload means more space on the server which means increase in cost (that's in case you care ;)....the forum is about to celebrate it's 15 anniversary and it seems to have worked well without that so far for our members, so again if it is such a big deal there are other forums out there.

    As always I will have the last word and hopefully you will think about your next move on this forum.
