I made a hide for the cool side too. But she almost never goes to the cool side except when she's thirsty :p


The probe is the thermostat's. i don't have an IR thermometer to read the temps on the hot side above the UTH.
The thermostat probe is like i said on the side of the tank, under the substrate. That way i wanted to know what temperature there really is for my snake under it's hide.
The thing that i don't understand is that i set the temps to be 90 during the day and 82 at night
So basically, as long as the probe doesn't read those temps, the UTH should increase the temperature right?
so i'm not supposed to change the temps unless i put my probe outside of the tank, sandwiched like you said..

I just have one thermometer reading the ambient temp (the 68F i was talking about)
This one is on the cool side on the wall of the tank.
since i removed the bulbs, the humidity is perfect. i don't really want to put them back to keep it this way, but the ambient temp kinda worries me though..
