You have to get a thermostat no matter what.

TCR has some Vivarium Electronics models, and Spyder Robotics makes Herpstat.

EVERY heat source you use needs to be regulated.

Your cypress will eventually dry out and you'll be misting and using humid hides. Lights burn humidity out fast.

Also keep and eye on your snake's belly. Cypress is great but our royal would start getting pink on the belly if she was constantly on damp substrate.

I'll bet Frosty could build you a really nice and affordable setup if needed.

Get the thermostat though!

You will find out fast that experienced members of this board will drill that into you from day one.

I bought my kid a royal a few years ago, asked a few questions here and within a day I had a Herpstat II ordered and on the way.

It's a learning curve and completely understandable, but not if the LEARNING part is ignored.

You'll get dialed in soon, I have faith.
