What an immaculate setup, and a lovely snake as well!
Sent you a PM.
Yup I got it, thank you Kara. I'll let you know if it chills my guy out.
These are the gadgets I use to double check and monitor temps and such. I just cleaned all the cages so I haven't put them back in yet.
The 2 little ones are what I use to check cool side temps.
The 2 grey digital Taylors I use to check hot side temps for my BP and Blood. They suck for reading humidity so they are for temps only.
The big ugly square Taylor is what I use to double check my cages and read humidity. It's the most accurate one.
And of course there is the reading off the Helix itself for temps.
I have a humidifier in the room to control humidity. The room itself is very small so it's super easy to bump the settings up or down.
This reminds me I should make things easier and buy a temp. gun. Can any of you recommend a good one for me? I'll order one up tomorrow. I always forget to do this.
Did kara have a tip for you to help with the nose rubbing?
I use and highly recommend the 412l? from Reptile Basics.
Its the yellow one for like 50 some odd dollars. I love mine.
Hope this helps.
She recommended I drop my hot side to 85 or 84 and see if it stops my Blood from being so figity. I'm going to try it out for a few days and see how it goes.
Maybe the clear glass front has something to do with it also? The rubbing that is
I used to think it was insecurity. This started happening when I first took away his hides because he out grew them and right after that he started pushing on the glass.
I went out and bought a kitty liter box and cut a hole in the front. It made for a nice hide but he still continued rubbing away.
Earl, has he stopped rubbing as much since you dropped the hot side? I'm very close to moving my dark girl to a new cage... and I don't know how she's going to handle all the room ya know?

Nope he hasn't done it at all. I'm going to give it a few more days just to be sure it's working but so far so good.
I can always tell when he does it because there will be smudges and smears on the glass all along the bottom and corners and there is no sign of any of that.
I dropped the temp from 88 to 85, cool side still is at 80.
Great set up Earl. I was going to suggest dropping the temps as I had the same problem a few years back and this was what worked for me as well but I see the Blood Goddess has already suggested it.
I love seeing other peoples bloods and thats a fab looking blood you have there.
