@frosty - thanks. i went to 3 petshops yesterday looking for a thermostat including a local mom and pop joint. none had it in inventory. (i even visited an
"indoor gardening" store afterwards.) so i ordered the same one from the "How to set up a tank..." sticky from Amazon.

@OP A thermostat is very important as those pads do get far too hot and can gravely injure a snake. The thermostat probe goes in b/w the heat pad and the bottom of the tank set at 90-91. Those dials are useless. Don't feel bad though, I bought them too. The laser temp reader is a good idea just to check things. Also, I suppose you could cover the top of the tank too. I've got an aquarium so most of my top is covered with foil to keep humidity in. Good on you for avoiding that whole thing and getting a nice enclosure Also just for note, go over those decor things and check for sharp edges, nail file or something. Just in case
i have one. it's not pictured. haha. how much of the top cover do u cover with foil? or is it cold side or hot side?

@C2t - thanks. i'll look into it. i might get some regular hides just in case.
