For the time being if your snake is young and small it probably can't reach the bulb but its still needs to be fixed. You need to get a screen to keep the snake from being able to touch it.

You may also want to check into radiant heat panels(rhp). Many using wood enclosures have good luck with them and they are much safer than your current setup.

Check out Pro Products. You can call them and they will ask some questions and get you exactly what you need.

So I upped the bulb again. And I just bought a acu rite thermometer under the light is 88-90 the cool side is 80 and the hot side ambient temp is 85-87. I will check out the panels. Or do you guys think I should just simply cut a hole in the top and attach a dome and keep it that way. Also and recamendations on the night time drops.

Use a service like Photopucket. Uplaod the pic there and then copy the "IMG" code and paste it into your text here. When you submit the post the pic will appear in the thread.

We really have to start boycotting photobucket. Imgur is so much easier to use. Reliable sharing, easy and quick uploading, and no broken links.

I will have to check it out. Photobucket is all I know.


OP, Lets see if you even have night drops now with the new bulb. If you decide to keep the lamp over a rhp I think cutting a hole and placing a dome fixture outside would be a good idea.

That's not true. Your snake does not require or want a night temp drop. The only times dropping temps comes into play is for breeding. My snakes stay the same temp all day and all year. Even my hognose which can go into brumation.
