Please help! I'm about to give up :(

You're going to COOK your snake. No matter how deep that substrate is he's going to burrow down into it and hit that 110 degree glass. Switch to using either a thin layer of aspen or cypress mulch or just use newspaper. The temp on top of the substrate may be too low (you need to get a temp gun to tell for sure) in which case that animal is going to find a way to get to the warm spot.

#1 Get a thermostat.

#2 Get a temp gun

#3 Change out the substrate

Then come back and let us know how it goes.

Hey here is an idea...

Lets not disparage the new comer to the hobby any more than they already are.

Ask any one on here I am not the politically correct one around here but use some sensitivity.

Now on with some constructive criticism.

I would change my substrate. I personally use blank newsprint. Aspen works well but if you are having humidity issues then I would stay away from it.

When I had my glass tank I used a red bulb on the outside to warm up the ambient temps, do not let it get the glass to hot.

Your snake will burrow down to some extent so always keep your glass at a safe temperature.

Use only digital temp and humidity gauges. Analog is a waste of money.

Hope this helps some. Please do not get discouraged BP are hearty little animals just continue to work hard at getting it right and keep coming with the questions. Most of us are willing to lend a helping hand.
