    Re: Dehydrated or shed???

    Ų

    My current setup. I have 5 thermometers lolz. 3 hygrometers. And I switched to mulch to keep humidity. I had to switch back to the bright day time heat lamp because temperatures dropped too low with the other lamp. And the probe was readying as high as 103 under the mulch at the uth

    Good deal switching; UTH should never be used without a thermostat for this reason. Even with layers of bedding inches thick, the snake can burrow and touch the glass and burn himself.

    As far as all your thermo and hygrometers, you could just ditch those and go with 2, good quality, digital thermo/hygro combos? Up to you, but the analog ones aren't as accurate.

    Re: Dehydrated or shed???

    I used to run tanks after you get your uth regulated ditch the lamps they'll kill your humidity. MOST people's houses will hold humidity well enough that to be honest I don't monitor mine anymore. I'll bump near shed with some sphagnum moss (every other day handling haven't missed a shed yet) and they're all perfect.

    Snakes will burrow in any substrate to get to the HOTTEST spot they can touch. I run my herpstats at 90.

    I run the original herpstats still. I highly recommend those. The ve models are also popular.

    If you can afford it definitely go for a Herpstat 1 or reptile basics ve-200. If that price is out of reach than inkbird itc308 from amazon will work. I would take off all the analog thermometers/hygrometers, make sure you have at least one digital thermometer that has a probe on it and also a digital hygrometer.

    I ordered the inkbird. It looks promising.
