if you're ordering supplies, pick-up some cleaners/disinfetant solution like chlorhexidine or F10 while you're at it.

Update..
Still getting a 2 degree variants in temperature each level..
Top shelf is the coolest 86-87 hot 81 cool
Middle 88-89. 81 cool side
Bottom is 91-92. 82 cool.

Someone mentioned in another forum thread that foil tape on the actual heat tape can mess with the heat tape causing irregularities in temperature?

Well I think I have it now.. lol shouldn't be this hard or my ocd is working overtime...

I took probe bulb put it between the heat tape and rack wall on middle shelf used foil tape to secure it but didn't tape any portion of the probe bulb just behind since it sit in there good. Probe is is completely touching the heat tape.

Temps.
Top.. hot side. 89 range. Cool 80
Middle. 90. range. 81
Bottom. 91. 82
Using forest floor bedding

There will always be a little temp difference between shelf's, finding a happy medium is best. Your temps before weren't bad but it's good that you have them closer now.

Thanks. I am sure pulling tub to check temperature you probably drop a quarter of a degree or so right

Personally I wouldn't use a hide at all. I have the same size snakes in bigger tubs, no hides, and they eat twice a week and never miss a beat. The less stuff you have in a tub the less you have to clean, tubs are designed to be easy to clean and maintain and the perfect environment for snakes without anything else. Look at videos of the top breeders, they never have hides in their tubs.

Iam just thinking going from a 10 gallon tank to a 28 qt tub maybe too much and want to provide that security for her once she gets bigger I'll remove the hides. Haven't got a scale yet but I am guessing 300 grams easy...
