I just remember you asking about these snakes, and I just wanted to reiterate that they dont really have a "learning curve" like other snakes do. They need a pretty consistent environment to stay healthy.

82-84 is even a bit high in my opinion.

80-82 is what I would shoot for, all around the tank, yes. That means that the bottom of the tank should be 80-82, as well as the air inside the enclosure.

I will also say that the sooner you can get him out of a tank, the happier he and you will be. Tubs and reptile specific caging are much easier to maintain and give the snakes a better sense of security.

Whats the name of the breeder you got him from? Granted hes in Canada, I dont know ANYBODY who believes temps that high are good for Bloods. The highest I've heard of is MAYBE 90 for a gravid females basking spot until she lays, then the hot spot is dropped and its back to normal temps.

Even 78-80 all around the enclosure is fine.

Rather them be a bit cool and dry than too hot and too humid.
Apology accepted, it was my fault I should have made the situation clearer.


Anyway onto temps

I must have misunderstood him. He may have said to have it 90 - 95 in the WINTER to keep the ground temp stable at 80 - 84 or 82. Maybe I just misheard him

Anyway im gonna get right onto getting air temps and ground temps to 80 - 82!!! Ill be right back!

EDIT: Switching to newspaper

Gonna get bitten aswell, this little snake is a nasty one, she strikes at everything!
