UTH better without thermostat

No, the heat pad is underneath the tank on the outside. Nothing is inside the tank asides the substrate, hides and water bowl and the humidity gauge.

Update:

Alrighty, now I'm confused.
The cooler side is 80.
Hotside now on top of the glass is 92. Yay!
Humidity is at 58, a bit low so I just sprayed in there a bit.

So....why is my little girl on top of her hide on the cool side underneath the heat lamp? OwO

How hot is the top of the cold hide, measured with a temperature gun? She might think it's her hot spot, if it's somewhere around 85 degrees. Basically: she's basking. Nothing wrong with that so long as your temperatures are on point.

Ah... Strange. She's done it a few times... Last time I tempt the top was 94... Which I know is high... I think I might lower the substrate more on the hot side? Its a bit above an inch... Think 1.5 inches?

Do you have identical hides for the cool and hot side?

When we first got our BP, he used the inexpensive RBI hide on the cool side but avoided the very pretty Exo Terra hide we had placed on the hot side. Instead of going in the hot hide, he would curl up behind it or on top of it.

When we replaced the Exo Terra hide with another RBI hide, he went right in it. Best guess is that he was just more comfortable in the smaller RBI hide.

Hello.

Sorry for the late reply. That's how life goes, it just wraps you up.

The two hides are identical.

Snakes are surely an interesting creatures indeed.

Starting today, she is finally on the heat side! Guess she wanted another mouse 😮 she's growing so big.
