Humidity

[ohyeahnow]

UTH's do not come with a thermostat.

I don't know the room temps that the snake tank is in and so I don't know if you would need supplemental heating; probably not if you got the right sized UTH.

I would switch out the bark and go with a thin layer of aspen.

And lastly, since we're talking about changing your entire set-up (always a drag but most pet stores are notorious for handing out poor advice while taking consumer dollars) check out these reptile cages: http://www.reptilebasics.com/2x3-Cag...h-p-16286.html.

If the UTH does not supply enough heat after you redo your set-up I can explain how to make a top that will hold in ambient temperatures, and humidity if you still need a light. You will probably be ok with the correct size UTH and aspen bedding, make sure to mount the thermometer probe and t-stat probe where the UTH is mounted so the glass will not get too hot.
