Hi everyone,
Firstly I just want to say this site is a must for anyone new to this hobby. We bought my first snake home 3 days ago, a juvenile male Mojave BP we called Monty, and have spent the last week and half taking in the massive amount of experience and advice given by this forums members. To that end and because i am new to these stunning animals. I wanted to post a picture of my setup and possibly get some feedback and advice on what to change, add, remove or keep.

20g Tank with mesh lid.
UTH placed on the bottom of the tank under the hide on the right.
1 Temp probe placed under the substrate in the hide, reading 97 deg (I have a thermostat arriving from amazon tomorrow)
1 Temp sensor mounted to the side of the tank on the far left, reading 78 deg
1 Hygrometer sensor mounted to the back of the tank visible just above the smaller water bowl reading 65% (after placing a damp towel to cover 3/4 of the tank based on the advice given here).
2 water bowls, 1 on the cold side and 1 next to the hide
2 decorative logs and some fake greenery.
I have no heat lamp or lighting of any kind next to the tank other than ceiling lights in the room.
Any advice on my setup would be greatly appreciated. My only interest is keeping Monty as comfortable and stress free as possible.
Also I have to post a picture of Monty....just to show him off lol
