new mojave ball python tank set-up

[chrid16371]

Yes I have the thermostat probe on the glass right over the UTH and at night when I sleep and can't keep an eye on the temp I in plug it and use the red 75w bulb which kept her tank at around 85-92 last night when my air conditioner turned on and off. And I just bought some silk plants today and a new hiding place and corner water bowl she loves to go in and out the hiding place but she likes the perch the best since it's close to the heating lamp (I found her sleeping there through the morning all balled up and I guess happy looking) her first feeding is this Friday (which is a week into having her) I'll post a picture below of what we did to clutter the big tank so she feels more hidden and secure.

Thermostat and thermometer are 2 different things. Thermostat controls temps and thermometers take temps. If you don't have a thermostat you need to unplug uth until you have one. If you do have a thermostat the probe should be sandwiched between the uth and bottom of tank. Then you need to adjust the thermostat until your thermometer reads no higher than 94 under the substrate (bedding) over the uth. Being that you said you can't keep an eye on it and you unplug it at night I'm assuming you don't have a thermostat bc with a thermostat it keeps the temp consistent so you don't need to watch it. By running the uth unregulated your putting the snake in danger.
