I guess I can be a lot more specific. Ha. The temp was for the hot side. I mis-spoke about the ambient temp. I have a UTH with out a thermostat, a CHE with a thermostat, and digital thermometer and hygrometer all on the hot side. The enclosure and bigger water dish are also on the hot side so as to keep the tank more humid right now. I have a kitchen towel underneath the newspaper over where the UTH is to shield the snake in case it gets too hot, since right now I cannot regulate it. I don't know exactly how old the snake is but measures somewhere between 18" and 24" (I'm at work right now.) Before I get home I will be purchasing another digital thermometer to measure the ambient temp and will post pics when I get to the house. Right now my only concern is making sure my baby sheds with no issue. I'm not really sure what to look for if things awry and am just trying to gain some knowledge so I can prevent any issues. I've had her about three weeks and she's been doing great. Eating 2 fuzzies every 7 days, and moved up to 1 small mouse yesterday (Frozen/Thawed). I may be being a little anal-retentive about it, I just don't want to screw anything up.
