I also agree with sattva that a good temp gun is a must. Those analog thermometers aren't as accurate.
Does it matter if the dimensions for the pvc tank are a little off? Like a standard 50 gallon tank is 37 x 19 x 20 but the tank is 36W x 18T x 24D is it fine? One of my other concerns is that the sliding doors are in the front. Would that mean the snake can still get out? And would I still need a uth and heating light?
