How You Doin Bp Community. Update on Ariana and Fabio. (Beginner Setup)

[Ax01]

thanks for the reply. so i just get this right the probe should be between the tub and the mat?

yes, thermostat probe stays on the outside, sandwiched between the tub and heatmat. it's the thermometer probe that stays on the inside:

~~~~~~~~~~ <-- substrate
---------o------- <-- thermometer probe
========== <-- enclosure bottom
---------o-------- <-- thermostat probe
------------------ <-- heatpad or heattape

or checkout this supercool/supercute/superhelpful diagram: https://ball-pythons.net/gallery//sh...mageuser=19365

also here's a quick guide on tub setup: https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...e-Basics-*DUW*

stuff like pee or spilled water than throw off the thermostat's probe reading of the temp u set it at.


Edit: clips or luggage straps can help u secure the tubs.

Edit2: a second hide is not necessary but pay attention to your BP, but most of those BP's are in racks where it's dark. if it seems stressed and out of it's warm hide, move to a smaller water bowl and put in a cool side hide. Or move the tubs to a rack, shelf or something that covers it's sides.
