Heating problem

[satomi325]

Hey I just got a ball python and I have a wired topped 10 gallon tank. I bought an exo terra heat emitter 40w pt2044 and my heat is only up to 80. I'm assuming this is bad

Yes. The hot side needs to be closer to ~90 and the cool side needs to be ~80.
Do you have an under tank heater as well? Are you checking your humidity? What sort of set up do you have?
