    Get temps down on the hot side and up on the cool side. If you need a ceramic heat emitter (CHE), etc. for each tank (low wattage probably), that might be a good idea, but again, that will need a thermostat as well, unless you got a thermostat that can run multiple devices.

    Please ask any questions or points of clarification. I might sound preachy or stern, but I want to help. Young snakes can get sick quicker than adult snakes. At 4 months old they need to eat soon and they won't, or won't digest well, or worse, if your environment is what you say it is.
    I have a heat gun and a new thermostat coming from Amazon as well. Both the new thermostat and the heat gun will be here Wednesday at the latest. I got the wrong thing at the Repticon.

    They each have a bowl of water in besides their moisture box in each of their enclosures. This bowl of water is changed daily if not more. I'm working on both humidity and temp. Believe me. THANK YOU for the warning not to feed till the numbers are right. Whew!

    Thank you for your advice. I'll take all I can get.
