Got a blood but..

Need to find out what that ground temp is too, they will absorb heat through their bellies as well.

It too needs to be that 78-82 degrees

Again, you may have to set your thermostat at 90-95, but no where in your enclosure should ever get that high for these snakes.

Alright, that sounds good! Ill follow your advice and get the ground and air to 78 - 82. Sadly a temp gun near me is 100$!!!!!

So im gonna have to wait to get money to order one frm the US or whatever. so for now the thermometer with probe will have to do.

BRB gonna go check ground temps and post them here

Quick question, is it okay to tape the thermopstat probe onto the heat mad using duct tape if I dont have any other tape?

ALso forgot to mention the heat pad will only be running at MAX 87F and lowest 85F

so it shouldnt burn duct tape would it?

I have had blood pythons for almost 2 yrs now, I am by no means an expert but I did attend the symposium in daytona on bloods a few years ago .

Anyway, we keep ours in a rack that has no heat. They are in the bottom 2 shelves and they have a big HEAVY water bowl filled with water at all times, sani chips as substrate and their temps are ambient room temps that range between 82-85 in the summer and down to 76 in the winter. We have never had any problems with our bloods.

Thats good to hear! I am one of those people that are like "No heat pad?!?!! WHAT!"

lol, but ill get along without it. Im currently working to get temps to what you and 2kdime have said. Hot side right now is 84, trying to get it down to 82, the ground temp I dont know cuz I gotta find the probe lol

Cool side is 84 aswell, aiming for 82 aswell.

Im also aiming for 79 - 82 on ground all over the enclosure

[2kdime]

Then you'll be right as rain

Okay so I got creative with my thermostat and made it into a thermometer with a probe

I put the probe in the tank at the (hot end: which means end that I thought was hot) and let it stablize. It stayed at 81.3 for awhile.

Then I put it on the "cold side" and it went to 81.1, but did hit 82 at one time

"hot side" maxed at 83 aswell. but stablized at 81.3

Thanks!

Also, some news on the temps. Last night it dropped to 73 on the cold side and 75 on the hot side

So im going to go ahead and get a infared heat bulb to keep on 24/7 because the room temp alone isn't keeping it highest than 75
