Have attached pictures of both bp and corn snake. We added some fake plants which helped boost up the temp and added some more cover into BP viv. Happy with the temps. Cold side on 24C for bp and cornsnake around 21c with his high coconut at 25c. Humidity 40 to 50...as good as its going to get. They both have humid hides.
We have bp on the ceramic bulb 80w and cornsnake on the dhp 80w Arcadia. We want to try the prorep 80w dhp but need a bigger guard. Interested to see if it gives a higher gradient than the arcadia which has a smaller area of heat. Can then have both snakes on dhp.
First set of pictures is of the corn snake
Second set is of the bp
Bp has moved more around his viv using hot, middle and cold hides. He also has eaten at each meal and is active daily at night which is great to see. Waiting for bp first shed. The digital thermometer on the cold side behind the ivy is so accurate. In hindsight we should have just bought 2 of those per viv instead of all the cords. We were also told that white python digital thermometer brand is good as well.
We have found that placing the probes away from the heat source has helped keep the heat balanced. The logic of stopping constant dimming makes sense when placing it directly underneath heat source.
It was interesting to hear from the reptile shop owner that his bp in the shop at the the moment had an ambient of 26c across the viv and we noticed that our bp enjoys his middle hide where the ambient is 26c. We didn't buy him from that shop so it couldn't be that he was used to the temp. Interesting to see how it was the same.
