Is it bad that right now my snake is relaxing in the cool side? Also my tank is in my room, should i leave the light on over the tank on 24/7 or get in on a timer for 12 hours on and 12 hours off? Also could I please try emailing you my pictures?
It doesn't matter which side you cover...just keep it away from the light so it doesn't melt or catch fire. Dimmers can be found at your local pet stores (that carry reptile supplies) for better Thermostats (what most of us use) try www.reptilebasics.com rRch will have all the latest (I recommend Helix (what I use) or Ranco..if cost is an issue).

If the light is going to be an issue then I suggest you get a ceramic heater (same benefit but no light) as my guess is once you shut the light off the temp will go too low)...not to mention that your bp doesn't need the light.

One other question is how you are measuring your temps...where are you placing the probe at?

As for the pics sure send them away. lordjackel@gmail.com
