The probe is for recording both heat and humidity. We spent extra money on it and it records amazingly.

What would you suggest covering the back and the sides with? We've been to a few pet stores in the area and they don't have reptile wall paper.

We are gonna be covering the top with tin foil today and we are hoping it will trap some of the heat on the cooler side (Which gets a little cool at night) and will trap humidity.

Now would you guys suggest keeping the one light shinning in during the day (the snake is in a very well lite room) or just keep the red nocturnal light on 24/7. On this site I read saying just keeping the red light makes things easier then changing it every day but on a few other sites it says its necessary to trade out the lights every 12 hours.

Thanks for the help
