Living in Tropical Country

welcome!
what type of thermometer/hygrometer are you using? if they're the analog/dial ones sold in pet stores, i would highly recommend not using them and find a digital thermometer/hygrometer. those analog ones are never accurate.

it's a digital one...i found it in nearby hardware store.

a UTH is used for belly heat which aids in digestion. digestion for snakes is a very delicate thing and if their needs aren't met they can have a lot of issues, even life-threatening. the UTH is controlled by a thermostat and set around 90°. i would recommend getting a UTH online since your temperatures don't reach that high, and you can find a light dimmer at any hardware store to control the UTH. ALL sources of heat MUST be regulated somehow.
in regards to bulbs: now i don't use them, but i think they're used to raise ambient temperatures only. the bulb would have to heat up the enclosure floor underneath the hide, which means a lot of heat and is not practical and could be dangerous.

if you decide to get a UTH, another identical hide is almost a necessity; that way they don't have to choose their security over regulating their temperature.

thanks for explaining this, I'll try to order one and see how it goes.

maybe turn a fan on in the room? smaller water dish? i'd maybe go for a mesh-top enclosure. how big is the enclosure your snake is in now?

AC is on pretty much during the day (you wouldn't believe the heat here ). as for the tank size, i just measured it and it's about 16x10x11, i've no idea what G size that is. i got it from the pet store the day i brought her home. the setup is pretty simple and straight forward.

i handle them p much whenever i want, but i always feed at night.

she's a beautiful noodle, and you seem to be providing good care for her. these are only my recommendations and opinions, but i think they'll help. hope you get many, many years of enjoyment from her.

thanks mate!
