ok the tank is some what done. my temps under the substrate on hot side is still like 100f. but the actual top of the substrate is 90f.theres just enough substrate to cover the glass. i had alot more reptibark there but the temps would not go over the 70s on hot side. i still need to up with the humidity a little. but overall i think its good. hopefully everything will be up to par by saturday, so i can get my snake.
