Today is a work since I got Herbert. He's already shed and pooped and I'm set to feed him tonight so I'd say he's settling in great.
I finally got around to installing my modified Acu-rite (I actually just got around to modifying it after a week lol) and installed it.
I ran the wires under the substrate and then up the corners of the tank and through the wire holes in the frame. Initially I glued them with hot glue to the glass, but then I figured the snake would get behind the wire and cause havoc.
This was fixed simply by taking a 12" piece of bamboo (about 3" in diameter) cutting it down to size and then splitting it into 4 quarters. 2 of the quarters are in the tank and 2 are saved for another occasion.
This is how the stats are looking immediately after I had the tank open for 10 minutes while I put the bamboo into place, they are leveling off at 81* cool, 92* warm and 56% humidity.
The entire enclosure. I created a humidity box using coconut bark and a Glad container because he was in shed when I first got him. I tried sphagnum moss, but I get much better humidity and control with the coconut bark. I think I might just leave it in, what does everyone think?
I'm gonna try and get pictures of Herbert tonight at feeding, but he's sleeping right now lol.
