final enclosure adjustments.
i finally finished setting up my tank after a month of trial and error in a 62° basement(where my room is). what finally helped with the temperature is building insulation to go around the tank. SO I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. i'm in a 20 gal long tank and i was having temperature problems. i made a lid with foil tape and cardboard and than just added insulation board with insulation foil glued to it, and have that around the tank. my temps are looking beautiful in just 1 hour. so i recommend trying that out if you're having temperature problems in a glass tank. hopefully i can turn off my red bulb cuz i always have a UTH & CHE also. only way to get the temps up in my basement. getting the girl tomorrow and i'll be posting pics! she's a bumblebee ball python. so excited to receive her! might need some tips on humidity cuz all the heat sources are about taking it all, at 40%. thank!
