I cut out another hole in the tin foil for the other dome and set it on there. (I can get a pic) I left it for an hour or so and here's what my temps are reading now:
Cool 79°F
Warm 82°F
Is this okay? I still haven't opened the dimmer, so I'll return it if this works. If not, I'll open up the dimmer and adjust the temps
Just take the new bulb back and get a refund. That is pretty much the only reason i like using local pet shops. If the stuff doesnt work out, you can return it And you mean a CHE right? Not an actual bulb that gives off light right? You dont want a 'light' bulb as that being on 24/7 probably wont help you or the snake sleep lol.
