How to Setup a Glass Tank (20 long) With Pictures!

[The Serpent Merchant]

Hey great post, answered all my questions about glass tanks, except for one: When I keep the probe between the heat pad and glass, what temp should I be setting the thermostat to ? It's a VE-100 so it's an on/off, the heat pad is Zoo Med, and I'm using paper towel as substrate.

Sidequestion: how many layers of paper towel should I be using ?

Thanks. Again, this is an awesome post.

Just 1 layer of paper towels.

You need to set the thermostat to whatever temperature that makes the probed thermometer inside your cage read between 88-92 F. Chances are that will be somewhere between 92-96 F, but everybody's setup is different.
