Proper temperature & humidity range

[tttaylorrr]

But until I can, all I have for a source of heat besides the UTH is an overhead lamp and I turn it off at night so I don't stress my snake out. So should I just keep the light on at all times to make sure it's warm enough until I can get everything I need to use the UTH properly?

snakes handle cold temperatures much better than hot ones; your bby will be fine for a few days without a UTH as long as your ambient temps are okay.

many of us use AcuRite digital termometers/hygrometers. here's an amazon link for the one i use but you can find it at walmart. AcuRite also makes digital thermometers that have a probe, so do a little research to figure out what you need.
