caution and savanna are no longer together pics

i havnt thought of anything to seperate the bins with, any suggestions? the heating pads had big warning notes not to use on anything but glass.. im assuming the rest of you saw that warning? the bins are 31qt.. the 15 looked so small!.. the heating pad on the top one im nervous to say is going to sag (not touch) ... how do i bring the humidity down? its now at 81% the warmest spot (the sensor is right over the heating pad) is reading 77.0 degrees. the outside of bin is at 80 degrees and rising slowely.. i know neither of these are ideal. any suggestions?

pics to come in a minute


gage now reads 82% humidity and 80 degrees

thermometers with sensors which are over the heating pads

their new set ups...

the owner of the shop wouldnt buy back the tank.. its sitting on our balcony. we might get something to put in it eventually, maybe a tegu or something like that ((shrugs)) someday

whoa whoa whoa!!! now the temps are reading 105.8 on the mats themselves.. i need to go get a thermostat NOW! will it burn the bins at that temperature?

[ADEE]

what temp do the mats need to be at? i have bedding over them but wanted to know what the temp was at its hottest place

Low density polyethylene melts at about 175˚F... so you really don't have to worry with a UTH. i would be more worried about the snake, they can get burns with heat as low as 98˚F.

well you want no hotter then 95˚ at the surface of the inside of the tub. with substrate the surface temp should be about 92˚.

you defiantly need a thermostat..

what about the humidity level.. isnt that too high?

More holes for less humidity.

I am really impressed with what you've done.

To get the humidity down, just put more holes in the tubs.
