Yeah I know that it should be higher during the shed process and I had him out earlier and seen his eyes were glazed over so I figured it was time to raise it up a little but went too much. Normally it is between 55-65%. Thanks the scalerot thing had me a bit worried.

The humidity during shed should be 65-70% me personally i like keeping it 70-80% the most...it gives my snake a complete shed with no problem....

Well it will start to look brown in their underscales and yeah they will move if a place is getting to hot...some cases they prefer to get burn because if they move the ambient temp is too low... the minimun should be at 80* the highest should be around 85*...does ur snake move alot?...what are you checking your temos with??

They don't have much feeling in the ventral scales... they will burn. That's why you shouldn't let the hottest spot get much above 96*, preferably 90-94*

Well right now all I have is a digital therm and hygro in the tubs I am waiting on a new rack with heat tape built in with a thermostat and a temp gun. So my ambient temp is usually 80-81 degrees. I was just curios about the burn thing.

From reptilebasics.com and it is a rack with belly heat and a Johnson thermostat and we opted for the built in night time cooling for future breeding. Also got a temp gun from them too it will all be here by the end of this coming week. All that for 410.00 bucks! Is that alot? Oh the rack holds eight tubs. 2 side by side with 4 rows.

Depends on what size of tubs it holds???...what i dont get is how is it built in night time for future breeding??...

The thermostat has a built in night time temp drop. It will drop the night time temps to whatever you set it at for breeding season. Rack Dimensions - 16 3/4" deep x 22 1/4" wide x 25 1/2" tall. Tub Dimensions - 10 1/2" x 15 3/4" x 5 1/2" (approx)/ 12.2 quarts.

I think 12 qt is too small for breeding....But in http://animalplastics.com/ the prices are kinda the same...but bigger sapce for bigger tubs...

Well I will eventually get a bigger one as right now all are under 400 grams. I have 6 1.1 Normals 1.1 Albinos and 1.0 Pinstripe and 0.1 Spider. This is the setup I have now but am planning on keeping the tubs in case. I am looking on animal plastics as we speak thanks for the site.

Re: Hunidity................
Pretty nice rack...i got one question though how did you do those holes on those tubs they look pretty neat...i've always tried to drill holes on mine but fail...the drill would torn a chunk out of the tub...so if you can tell me how you did them ill appreciate it...

Thanks! I did them with a drill just went reall slow with slight pressure till the bit stopped turning when it dug in and then went full blast and made perfect holes but if you do this be sure to get a sharp knife and go around the holes to smooth them off as some plastic will still stick and make sharp edges. As far as the rack I did not build it my brother's girlfriend did. If I would have made it I would have made it around the size tubs I was going to use and enclosed it so it would have kept the heat and humidity in and I wouldn't have had to have the lids on. Oh yeah by the way I only own 3 of the six the other 3 are my bro's and I am keeping them for him untill he goes back to NC. Then he will be taking his 3 with. That is why I needed to get a new rack cause I have been using this one.
Re: Hunidity................
Oh ok thanks for the tips and keep us updated with pics of that new rack...well its past my bedtime...lol...ima go to sleep....
Re: Hunidity................
Soldering iron works awesome make sure you are outside needs to be well ventilated you will not crack the plastic

85 for high side? You seem to give some terrible advice!!! High side should be around 90-92 and low side around 80

If you read the post well i was talking about the ambient temp...well either ways thanks for your "GOOD" advice some people may find it helpful....
