UTH not working properly.

[Vypyrz]

If you don't mind me asking what is a dimmer? Sorry as you can tell I am definetely new to this. I actually thought I did all my homework with the set up before I got my snake. Guess I was wrong. Luckily I am still keeping everything the proper temps and humidity just a lot of adjusting throughout the day.

A dimmer is just a basic plug in lamp dimmer that you can get at Lowes or Home Depot for about $10-$15. They look something like this:

If you need to raise the ambient temps in your tank, you can try covering the two ends and back with foam board or cardboard to help insulate it. You can usually find foam board at Wal-Mart or Target in the school supplies section with the poster board. It will also help if you position the lamp about half way between the center and end of the top, and cover the exposed screen with aluminum foil.
