When talking about temperature control and reptiles, you're mostly only concerned with where the reptile spends the majority of its time. For ball pythons, that means on the floor. If it's green tree pythons, then it's on one side of the aerial perch or the other. Make more sense?
Yah, that does, thanks

So, here's the todo:
  • Remove the UTH from the side, put it on the bottom
  • Have the thermostat sensor sit between the UTH and the glass (so it doesn't get peed on)
  • Have that one set to 90 degrees
  • Duplicate the same setup on the right side of the tank, but set to 80 degrees (or 92/82 because of the substrate, liner and glass that could cause heat loss before it reaches his belly)
  • Remove the heat lamp if the temperature is okay
  • Relax


Anything I missed?
