    Re: Help! Can't get the set up correct

    You would heat the tub with flex watt.

    Lets work with what you have going on...
    -Put foam board or rigid insulation around the sides of the tank. Not only will it help to hold in the heat, but it will also provide an added sense of security for the snake!
    -You need to have the UTH controlled by a thermostat or, if your environmental temps do not differ by more than a degree or two, you can get a rheostat.
    -You need to foil or plexi the top of the tank for heat and humidity.
    -Placing damp sphagnum moss into each of the hides will help a lot right now for the shedding process.
    -Place a shallow and large surfaced bowl of water near the hottest part of the cgae floor. This will help with evaporation.
    -Mist the cage with water to help bump the temps up.

    If you are successful with this-- kudos!! If not, here's a link: http://www.reptilebasics.com/2x3-Cag...h-p-16286.html
