Well, today I got my BP and all the supply's he is in a 10 Gallon Tank with a Heat Mat, Basking Bulb, Thermostat...ect any way. The thermostat I have is shutting the lamp off not dimming it and the snake can see the light is is okay if it shuts off and turns on every 20-30 seconds? Or will this severely stress the snake out.

Temp Directly on the Heat Pad: 105 F
Basking area temp 87-88 F
Middle of the tank: 84 F
Humidity 63%

Is all this okay? Also the Hide is above the Heat Mat and the probe is directly on the Heat Mat through he glass. Another thing I noticed is he won't go in is hide not sure why he about 6 weeks old and about 16-18 inches long. Here is a pic of the hide. http://s.petco.com/Assets/product_im...561228527c.jpg

The dimensions are also. 9" L X 5.75" W X 3" H

I got him from a breeder seems healthy any every thing.
