Re: Wow, we really messed up.
Glad to hear everything is going well with him.
Nice to see owners taking any means necessary for the animals well being.

I'm 50 years old and farts still crack me up. There are a couple of epic threads here about farts and poop that just slay me.

That's really about as cool as he should get, it wouldn't hurt to increase those temperatures by a degree or so. Also, if your house is going to get that cold over the winter you'll need to insulate the tank as the heat goes right out the glass sides - I know because my house stayed at 60-68*F last year and some of my guys hadn't been moved into the herp room (which I keep warm) when the weather changed. An easy way to do it is to fold up a blanket so it's the height of the tank, wrap it around the tank, and bungie-cord it into place. It looks silly as heck but it works.

Apologies for not reading all 5 pages but I just wanted to say you're here and you're doing all of the right things. I would not say you 'really messed up' and I think you're being a little hard on yourself in the first few posts here. You should see some of the ways that people mess up in caring for these snakes... this stuff is all extremely minor and won't cause any permanent harm.

I've got 1/4" thick Foam Board that I'll cut to fit the sides and top.

You mean like this:
That is me holding my lesser (now almost 900g) with my friend (the guy) and the breeder (the other female voice) at a local show where I purchased him from.
