    WELCOKE TO THE FORUM!!! BLOCKS OF ALL-CAPS ARE VERY HARD TO READ!
    lol, sorry but it was difficult to retain the info. seriously, welcome! here it goes:
    we can't tell size from photos; how much does the snake weigh?
    at ~6 mo. of age your snake should be eating rat pups or weaned rats; pinky mice are way too small. for youngin's you should be feeding a prey item that's 10-15% of the snake's weight.
    those analog/dial gauges are practically worthless in their accuracy; invest in an AcuRite digital thermometer/hygrometer from walmart.
    what is your heat source? how are you controlling your heat source? ALL sources of heat MUST be regulated by a thermoSTAT.
    those half-log hides are not the best for giving your beep the security it needs. a cave-like hide with one entry/exit is preferred.
