ok wussup peepz?
ive never owned a snake b4 :P so im juss wonderin how i should setup my tank to make it the best place for my boa constrictor to live ( havnt gotten it yet.. juss settin up the tank and testin the temp for now ) um i juss went out and bought 2 thermometres.. one that has humi readin too.. um.. i have a small fish tank here that i found.. ( 10-20 gallon ) and i have it on the side to give my snake more movement room
right now.. i have the 2 probes from the thermometres hangin (taped) from the top of the glass in about the center of each end.. i have it about 1 cm or so off the bottom of the glass.. i have a UTH pad under the entire tank (cause my room is a bit cold) and i have a lamp wit a 40w bald on top of the glass on the "hot" end, but its actually shinin right on the tape that i have for my hot end probe ( would that melt the tape? and i was also wonderin wut temp i should be aimin at in degrees.. i hear 80-85 in cold and 85-90 in hot? i might be wrong ( top of my head ) im gonna have aspen beddin on top of a layer of newspaper.. still need to make some hides for him.. i was juss wonderin if the probes are setup right and if tilting my tank would be a good idea.. ( i dont want anythin spillin out though ) the tank has a lil lip on it, juss hope its enough. and also wonderin where the thermometre (wit humitity) gets the readin for the humitity.. because my thermometre itself is outside of the tank.. ( called "Thermor" bought at home outfitters ) any help of suggestions would be greatly apperiated
and thanx for ur time
