got it all set now.. i let the TSTAT heat up to 32.5C (90.5F) and check the inside of the tub and the heat still wasn't that great so i turned the TSTAT to 33.5C (1degree more) and it feels warm but i don't know if it's going to be good enough still but im not too sure as this is my first snake.. i don't have the news paper in either.. im just setting the tank up now than i'll take a pic
