Do you plan to use something to control the ambient temp? Like a heat lamp or CHE?? What’s the temp of the room ?

you need to add the water bowl or you are wasting your time.

Did you cover the entire top? The snake needs air to breathe so I hope not

I’m on Long Island so similar temps to you. People make glass tanks work but they take effort and tweaking.

There is a guy it in here named Craig F. He gave me good advice on beefing up glass because I like you am a long time aquarist and have many spares. I currently only use one glass tank and it’s for my mandarin rat which has no heat sources so it’s a diff application.

Did you look on craigs list , every time I go to use a glass tank I find a great deal in CL and don’t.
