Hi,

Nice looking tank.

I couldn't help but notice the round dial type thermometers and such - are they what you are using to measure the temps and humidity?

I ask because they are frequently quite a bit off.

Hi,

Most people reccoment the acurite weather station things from wallmart for about $12.

They have a probe that can read temps (most people put that in the warm side hide) and the base unit reads temp and humidity - most people leave that at ground level in the cool end.

Of course the snakes seem to take great delight in trashing them.

Once the humidity was ok and I was relatively certain it was going to stay that way I mainly just use probes at both ends and only put the base units in now and again to check nothing has gone awry.

Good catch by Dr. Del on the dial thermometers. But that raises another question in my mind. How are you heating the enclosure and how are you regulating that heat?

I agree that the decor is top notch and I'm sure your bp feels pretty secure and comfortable in his/her home...

I have a heating pad on the left side of the tank..that side usually reads about 6 degrees higher then the other..
