ok, so for the last couple of days I have been testing out trying to get the temperatures in the tank right (before the snake got here) and I can get the warm side to around 90-94, but the cool side, unless I have another heat source the cooler side doesn't go over 70-72, but with another heat source makes the warm side easily in to 100+.

Any ideas on how I could solve this problem.

thanks

PS. I won't be bringing the snake into this tank until the husbandry issues are solved
