im keeping a 10 gal inside a 40 gal. (i know weird) cuz my 40 gal does not have a door yet. and i didnt realize how small the snake is compared to the tank. i have a medium uth under the 40 and i keep one side of the 10 gal on top of the heat pad. i only use it at night but since the heat pad gets too hot, im using a timer to turn on and off every 30 min since i dont have a thermostat yet.

the temp of the room is around the same as the cage's temp
