    Temp. Concern...

    I have a 20L with 80% screen covered with foil tape & 2 regulated UTH's.
    The humidty is 60%
    The warm side is 94
    the cool side is 84,
    However my ambient temp is 73
    He seems to be in the warm and cool side equally throughout the course of the day and he ate so I was wondering how much of a concern the 73 degree ambient temp should be?

    if you have proper belly temps your snake isn't going to die. I would try to bump up that temp to at least 78 though.
    Maybe you could get a space heater for the room?
    Or maybe you will have to get a low wattage CHE or lamp.

    Where are you measuring the ambient temp from? With what kind of device?

    Ok that sounds about right. Just making sure you were using a stick on or an accu-rite with the unit outside of the tank

    All I can suggest is a lamp or a space heater for the whole room if you don't want a lamp.
