Seeing a ball python drink is pretty rare! What a lucky sight!Originally Posted by ninjamonkey1
Right now im using the heat light with a 150watt infrared heat bulb, and a 30-40gallon UTH. I dont know why its so cold in there?
Theres a thermometer on the glass mid tank, its reading 85-90 degrees (not sure how to read the non digital one..) but my digital one about 1" off the bedding, on the warm side is reading 83.8 now (slowly rising since i moved the position of the thermometer towards the ground).
I cant seem to get this right AT ALL. first i had the heat perfect, and horrible humidity, now i have the humidity great, and horrible heat.
I saw her drinking though, thats good huh?
As for the temps, I would invest in some digital probe thermometers. Those dial ones are hard to read for a reason, they are crappy. The digital that you have 1 inch off the ground, is it the flukers one? If so, that one is good for measuring humidity and ambient temperatures, so you are doing okay with the ambients (or cool side).
The best advice I can give you for right now is to place the digital thermometer right on the glass above the UTH. If the temp is around 90 (but less than 95) you should be fine with your temps. But first thing tomorrow, go out and get a thermometer with a probe and a light dimmer for your UTH (which is probably too hot).
