    New tub temp. question

    I setup my new tub last night, threw everything (except the snake) in overnight so I could check the temperatures in the morning. right above the flexwatt it got up to ~95.x

    on the cool side of the tub the air temp only got up to ~82, and was 79 when I checked this morning.

    I only have 1 snake so a rack Isn't something I care to buy, but is there a special way 1 tub should be kept in order to keep more heat in? Better question maybe, is the 79-82 air temp even a problem?

    tub setup:
    -aspen substrate
    -2 hides
    -water bowl
    -flexwatt on one side
    -8 holes on each long side of the tub

    Re: New tub temp. question

    Hi,

    Are the house temps going to be fairly stable over the winter months?

    I wouldn't be worried at 79-82f at all but if it is going to drop below 75 I probably would.

    How is the humidity holding up?

    Re: New tub temp. question

    Humidity is 56% atm. The house is usually kept warmer in the winter than it is during the summer/fall. The house is only in the mid 60's right now but I keep everything in the same room as my computer and I have a savannah monitor as well so the heat from the computer and monitor's lamp keeps the room about ~75

    Thanks for the help. So it would be ok to put her in the tub right now?
