^^^ isn't that dangerous for the snake? 70 seems too low to be anywhere inside a BP's enclosure.. or are you saying you found a way to get it over 80 without a 2nd heat source? I've been tweaking my tubs and can't seem to get it right.

Well a lot of that was purchasing things in the wrong sizes, purchasing too much of stuff, getting the fancy hides, getting too many thermometers etc.. It can run more tubs but since my other snake is smaller it's in a smaller tub as well. Even using same wattage/size flexwatt in the same thermostat, tub size seems to have an effect on temps. I guess its because of the surface area or something, I dunno.

Before switching to a tub all I had was heat lamp and it got the temp gradient perfectly in line, right out of the box. Humidity was the issue I switched to a tub for. Now the concern is temps. And also humidity if I don't have enough vent holes or air flow.
