Thank you all so much for the help! I got temps up to 82 ambient, which I'm so happy about! Foam board's gonna be great for when it gets really cold too. Ordering some Reptichip, have a humidifier in the room until it arrives as a temporary solution. My CHE does have a built in dimmer and I've been using that to adjust the temps, but it's been annoying getting it to work properly, so I'll grab one of those Zilla bulbs when I go to a different pet store to get her some proper sized mice. And I'll hold off on feeding until Sunday, probably better to use a hopper instead of a pinky. This forum and community has been amazing for a beginner keeper! I just might have to get another ball in a year or two now, haha. The more I learn about these snakes the cooler they get.
Putting the bulb or CHE on a thermostat is more consistent and a lot easier in my opinion. I would rather have the thermostat do all the work.
Glad you got the temps up to 82 that makes me more hopeful for your snake eating Sunday.
