Digital themometor questions

[Dylan_]

So i have 2 digital themometors one on the warm end one on the cool end to read tempatures i also use my temp gun as well but wjere sjoildni put the probes against glass up in air a bit on substrate on glass but sticking out a bit where exactl shpuld i place it for correct ambient temps?

Usually at the substrate since that is where the snakes are. You want their level. So point it down on the glass so the point almost touches the substrate. And remember NEVER put anything sticky in your tank. No tape, Velcro...ect. Use hot glue or silicone. And if you use silicone you must remove everything from the tank and let dry 24-48 hours.

It has the suction cup things that come with the digitial Thermometer thank you for the advice i will point it towards substrate

Pretty horrible pictures of what tape can do to a snake if you want to see. Yet people still use sticky back tape and companies still sell items that use it. Do your thermometers have a hygrometer integrated in for humidity?

I dont have a degital hygrometor i have one of those dial ones or whatever im going to invest in a digital one soon humidity on the dial thing reads about 60% humidity and i wouldnt use tape inside the enclosure ill uplpad some pictures to show you the themometors and hygrometor

Right on, good to hear. I know the lack of support you have had, just wanted to clarify on the humidity. Sounds like your going in the right direction.

Guess its reading about 55% right now lol

Just realised that hygrometor has velcro on it going to tear it down and take the velcro off and place it on ground

You already mentioned getting a digital hygrometer, but I just figured I'd follow up...
Those dial style analogs can be wildly inaccurate, up to 15% from what I understand. So if you're reading 65% your humidity could be anywhere from 50-80%. So you're definitely on the right track planning on getting a new one.

Everything else looks good to me!
