Advice/Critique of Tank Set-up

[Twiegs]

Temps are holding good during the day but dropping on the cool side to 70-72 overnight. Still need to figure that out.

Nice setup, just ensure the temps are holding

What type of thermometer is that?

[Twiegs]

Acurite from Walmart.

Ah I see. Still can't find Acurite's here in Ontario.

Wow, your snake's adorable! But you definately need to get him up to the proper size. Other than that he seems healthy.

I have a different accurite but it works very well.

As long as there is no chance the branch could fall on him, it should be fine. He'll probably like climbing on it anyway
Are you only using a heat lamp? I can't tell from the picture. Most people use under tank heat, either from UTH's or heat tape.

I would recommend that you either modify the half-log hides or replace them with ones that the snake can completely hide in. Here's an extremely helpful explanation of good snake hides:

Thank you! What would be the best way to do that? Should I be feeding more then once a week?

Great article, thanks for sharing! I use a UTH on the hot side and a heat lamb on the cold side. If I don't use the heat lamb, the ambient temp is around 72.
