Re: Help! >o< May I know how to keep the temperature if the snake likes climbing?

May I know where did you get it and do you have its link?
And for the humidity part, sorry I'm still kind of confused about it because of my bad English. Yeah I also feel it's super hard to keep high humidity and warm. I'm kind of confused about "foam weather stripping along the lip of the opening".
Do you mean you put a wet towel or something above the tub and cover some holes? What is the "weather stripping" for and may I know is there any replacement?
And for the security part, May I know that do you have any recommendation of the tub? I went to some super market like walmart and target but unable to find some good quality tub  I always warried they may escape from like the upper part or the bottom part where there's no clamp like left part and right part. Thank you so much !!! I asked too many stupid questions... I'm too warried and don't want them sick or something.
Sorry i didn't reply sooner, i forgot to follow this thread! OK, the black thing with the light is the RHP (radiant heat panel) there are 2 main companies, Reptile Basics and Pro Products. Generally speaking Pro Products are higher quality, but Reptile basics are more affordable, but both are better than bulbs and heat pads/tape. Mine is a reptile basics and it works great, but i am saving up for a pro-P when i upgrade the viv.
~Foam weather stripping, in the picture where its open you can see white stuff around the opening edge, that is this stuff.
~Escape from the unlocked corners is a very real concern, i have one tub shown below that it happened to twice, i have one of these on each of the corners, its kind of a pain, i will be replacing it soon, but thats the great thing, the tub was only $12 so no big deal! The better tubs with thicker lids are a little more expensive, ($20 ) but very secure. The hard part is that the lids are not clear, so you have to cut a window and add a pane of glass or plexiglass (hard clear plastic) like in the picture below - but notice the clamps . Hope this helps!
