Everyone has very beautiful pythons in their avatar and collections. Seeing this is my first snake i would like to get more in the future. Ill get mine up soon

Where can i find a simple thermostat? My price range would be around $50 max. This is my first set up so nothing crazy. Thanks

Hello, and to BP.net.
In addition to the thermostat, my recommendation would be to reduce the thickness of yur substrate layer down to about 1 inch or so, really thick layers tend to trap the heat under them and it will build up along the glass, causing high temps.

I picked up my thermostat today at petco. Zilla thermostat. Not sure how good it will be but just for the meantime till i look into a better one.

I removed the hide and found what looked like a soaked spot under the hide. The hide itself was wet. Before i placed the probe on top of the UTH i felt the glass and it was really HOT! So i set my thermostat at 92. Is that correct?

My problem now is i cant close the lid complete because the probe wire is in the way. Do i have to make a cut out for the wire?

Let me know if im doing anything wrong. Thanks again for all the comments, help and suggestions.
