I picked up a cheap kitchen scale like this.

I think it was like 12 bucks.

So I have a radiant heat panel installed in my enclosure which takes care of hot spot and ambient temps. I have this extra piece of heat tape just sitting here. If you felt comfortable giving my your address I can send it to you.. no charge

Will probably give you much more consistent temps.

I have some heat pads that were very crappy and all over the place..

ya you tape it to the bottom of the tank with the thermostat probe sandwiched in between the tape and glass.

I just know a lot of the stuff you buy at big box pet stores is of terrible quality.. Sucks, but its just the way it is sometimes..

On the outside of the tank where the snake cant get to it..

And if youd like it, its yours.. its literally just sitting here..

[Jmarshall]

so it would go


snake
substrate
tank
probe
heat tape
Table

Yes. Then check inside tank on bottom with a heat gun. The UTH will have different temps in different areas. The max temp should be 90°. So adjust thermostat until the hottest spot is 90°.

How big is the extra piece of heat tape u have and where do you get it from? I live in canada so they want to charge an arm and a leg for shipping on most websites lol
