whats a good thermostat to use, the ones linked in that set up post all but the economy ones have broken links.

Herpstat makes the best thermostats i've seen on the market. they are WELL worth the money and will last FOREVER!

if you cannot afford a Herpstat, start saving up and use a JumpStart thermostat for the time-being. the Jumpstart should not be relied on as a permanent solution: they're cheap and eventually WILL fail. i have not had one fail on me yet but i don't use them long enough to find out; longest i used one was 2 years.

consider the fact that the snake will be in your care for at LEAST 20 years and the price of a Herpstat is certainly justifiable.

much more cluttered and looking good! did you manage to get a thermostat yet? that is necessary.
i see you have two hides that aren't identical, and one is open on both ends: SOP is to use two identical hides to lessen the stress of the snake feeling they have to choose; they do tend to pick a favorite/the one they feel is most secure. i have 3 identical hides for Yellow and he still has a favorite.

Hmmm, nice, you have a bunch of tatts and named your snake after the Allfather... love it, hits close to home, I got my eye on you...

As I mentioned in the other thread, I hot-glued my Herpstat probe to the UTH and it works great. I also put a piece of duct tape over it just as a precaution, but it's really not needed, the high temp hot glue works great on its own. If you get a Herpstat, they advise against using foil tape over the probe... duct tape also works great to secure the probe wire, electrical tape not so god, it will come off the glass...
