Well snakes WILL burrow meaning it will be lying on temps of 103 at certain times - dangerously high ..Originally Posted by Flip
I'm constantly doubting the proper way to keep the substrate temps in check. My thermostat probe is siliconed to the bottom of the inside of the enclosure, and having it set to 105f gets the substrate (layer of husk) to about 89f.
This means at the bottom of the enclosure, if she were to burrow a bit, itd be 103ish, give or take. Checking with a temp gun confirms this, though once the substrate covers it it's fine.
Even her moving it around can change these numbers drastically.
What do?
Just needs a bit of fine tuning .. maybe a shallower level of substrate but make sure the viv floor is not too much higher than 92
