i have a digital temp and humid guage directly behind her hot side hide at ground leval its reading 86 degrees right now..Originally Posted by dr del
welcome to the forum,
What are you using to measure the temps again and where in the tank are you taking them?
Because the recomended temps as pointed out tend to be 90-95 hot side but thats the basking spot temps really - where the snake can sit. Humidity is a sod to get right with large heaters like that though - possibly a humid hide might be a good idea to make sure she doesnt have any probs shedding.
Are you using an under tank heater? if so what depth is the substrate over it - it might be stopping some of the heat reaching the snake possibly.
