Wow, thanks everyone for all reply's. I have had a very tiring night. I went to Rona, picked up a dimmer switch, I don't know how long it takes to lower the temps but it's dimmed to the lowest and is still in the 100's!
Then I thought, well, maybe I will go buy a really big clear rubbermaid container and switch the snake into that instead of the tank, then things would be easier. I found the perfect size at walmart, but... there was no lid!! Ahhhh! So I then searched, Rona, Home Depot, Canadian Tire, Superstore and Staples, NO ONE had the size I wanted, can you beleive it! I did find a digital themometer at one store for $10, I have it in the tank right now but I'm not sure yet if it's accurate, we will see, I may be returning it and getting the one someone else here recommended, ( I just read the post about 5 mins ago).
As for the snake, someone asked if he moves about, Yes, he does move. We put him on the bed and he was zooming around. Actually when I got home, I went into the bedroom to check on him and he was just coming out of his hot hide and he saw me, he got scared, hissed and went back into his hide. I felt bad that I scared him, poor thing! I'm so stressed out though that he will die becuase of his bad temps, I feel like I'm going to have a heart -attack!
Doesn't seem to matter how hard I try to make things right, it just aint working. I even made him some hides out of that clay recepie on here, but in the end, they are almost too small, and we bought the spray paint to paint them and both cans were faulty and didn't spray, so, I had to return those tonight too, and drag my 2 kids with me! So, I will keep trying till I get it right. Hang in there Oden, don't die on me!
