Tank requirment questions

[Sunnieskys]

My eco esrth i movdd around a bit cause the buttom was still a little damp and now my temps are even lower on surface thinking of drying it. Would eco earth be better then aspen for bedding?

Yes! Aspen molds if too wet and/or dries out quickly.

If you are having problems with temps at night you can put a space heater on a themostat as well. It will kick on at night when the temps drop to whatever you set it at.. I was using that set up before I got my AP with RHP.

Seriously debaiting on just buying a tote it would probably be 100x easier to keep tempatures right and not have to clutter the crap out of it to make the snake feel secure this tank is starting to cost me a small fortune to try to setup i could probably get ridnof the lights as well if jot stleast downgrade to 1 light i like the tank im just tirednof trying to maintain the temps probably not that exspensive to get a large tote and if i do get a tote can they live in that the rest of there lives or am i going to need something else when its an adult?

75 is the basement. I like to see it a little higher, around 77.

The coldest spot which is a corner is like 73 most the other spots on the cool side range from 74ish 75 to 77-78

Darker is better but you could always put paper around them so they can't see out.

The spot that is 77-78 will be the best.

Something to consider is the tank itself will balance out. You have been working with it quite a bit. Give it some time and check it over again in a few hours. I change my substrate every 30 days and it takes a little time to heat up and balance out. I know everything is set so for 12 hours or so just look for equipment to work properly and check the hot side at glass. Not so much the air temps but the surface does take a little while. It’s easy to go crazy in the details.
They like to feel secure so clear could give them the impression they are in the open. Like Sunnieskys said covering with paper would be good.

My cool side is about 78 with the gradient from the che
