You need a thermostat or lamp dimmers to regulate your temps. Then get 2 probes (1 Acurite brand Hygro/thermometer and 1 normal t-meter with a probe) use them to set temps..I use a probe under each hide and the Acurite unit stays inside the habitat and measures ambient and humidity and it gives you a reading for the hide(probe temp).The smaller thermometer stays outside and you just run the probe inside the tank into the hide.That heater will burn your snake!!! this should get you fixed up..2 dimmers @ $10 ea, 1 Acurite @ $12, 1 normal T-meter w/probe @ $7...
Get it fixed soon..Most UTH heaters without some type of regulation device(Dimmer or Thermostat) can and will burn your snake. They only reall sense heat at their head and therefore can have their head in a spot that is perfect and simultaneously be cooking their body without realizing it!!!
Cute snakes ...but not too bright!!!
