    Tank setup

    Only thing not in yet is water bowl which should get humidity back up.
    Running two UTH on individual thermostats and each have own gauges/probes. One CHE on a dimmer. Hot side is 90-91 hot spot and 83 ambient. Cool side is 81 hot spot and 78 ambient.
    I have the tank on some wood cut to size so the cords don't get pinched. Since I've only seen temp probe taped by the cord I shimmied some CD'S underneath to keep the probes from drooping.
    Sides and back covered, used the excess cut off to cover the front a little bit by the hides. 4 hides- 2 smaller and 2 bigger ones.

    Looks nice. I don't think you need two UTH for a "hot side" hot spot and a "cool side" hot spot, though, just one hot spot on the warm side. However, I don't think it hurts (I don't see this done often, but I'm sure someone else can comment on it if it's terribly wrong). Also make sure he can't reach up to the CHE. Those can get very hot, even with a dimmer, and the surface it's sitting on can get hot too which can hurt the snake if it decides to rub against it. Otherwise, I would definitely add some leafy decor so your snake can feel more hidden when he's roaming around. These are good in my opinion.

    The prince fought valiantly.
    He slayed the dragon.
    The princess cried for days.
    She loved that dragon.

    I actually have a pack of those sitting here to put around. She's in her new home and had a fun time exploring moving everything around yesterday. She's now happy in one of her hides.
