Hey guys this my 3rd/4th post and i had a few problems with my enclosure to start with temps and other common things. well i finally received good temps and did some adjustments and added a few things to try and make my bumblebee a happy new snake. she will be arriving next week and i'm nervous and excited. i just want a happy snake and i think ill achieve it! i've had my tank set up for about a month now doing many trial and errors and new purchases/ returning purchases. so i am now satisfied and just want to know what some pros think! thanks for giving me your time and advice! i have the heating mat on the left with the thermostat probe taped on the bottom to the mat with foil tape. 100W CHE and a 75 watt night light both on the thermostat as well. i have a temperature to check the surface areas with a digital thermometer/hygrometer on the hot side with one on the way the cold side. i also just created the top lid wrapped in foil tape. the reason i have 2 lights are due to my room being in the basement at 62-65°. thanks for all input!

(i'm sorry i'm trying to post a picture im on an iphone not computer)

You can upload from a phone but the file has to be tiny, I've had that problem a lot. The forum will only upload very very small images. Otherwise you have to use a url link or a photo hosting site.

updated my enclosure a little since i was having some temperature problems. overall my temps are good but did some adjustments. i bought some insulation board and insulation foil and measured than taped the foil to the board. i surrounded my tank with that and now hoping to see some improvements. what do you guys think? what would you change? thanks! she'll be in tomorrow so i'll upload pictures (:

You're good to go Frank. You won't need a UTH, CHE and heat bulb though. You can drop the CHE or heat bulb.
