Ok, I turned it down to about 92-93 at the moment according to my zilla temp gun thing. (I'm positive it is correct) and it's about 80 cold side. according to my didgital temp reader, the ambient temp is about 70 cold side, 85 hot side.
Im using an exo terra thermostat that you have to guess and check with(a dial from low to high)
and the the heat tape is covering a little less than half of the bin. (The aluminum tape stuff keeping it in place is what I think you're seeing on the sides there.)
sorry, I'm new to snakes. I'm so used to high temps for monitor lizards(like my savannah monitor that comes from the same area of Africa that needs to basks at 125+). This snake is throwing me all sorts of curve balls.
