Your thoughts for your snake's safety if he were to burrow & touch the hot glass is correct- As already suggested, keep the substrate shallow* over the UTH so the heat can properly rise (instead of possibly overheating the UTH due to excessive "insulation" above it), & lower the UTH temperature to keep the "warm hide" about 88* instead. Any help would be appreciated, and glad to be a part of this amazing community! I will also be adding more fake plants for cover, they haven’t shipped yet. I’m in the south so my room already has the right humidity. My enclosure is the 36x18x18 exo tera with a screen top. Will this work and would this raise the air temp to around 80° in the enclosure. I was thinking on getting a ceramic heat emitter bulb and putting it on the cool side with a dimmer to get the 80°. This is because I have such a big enclosure. Is this normal and how do I fix this? One other thing, my cool side currently is at 72° and my ambient temp is at 71° (my house temp). There’s also water droplets coating the inside. And I can tell, when I stick my finger in the hide it feels like a Sona lol. Continuing, My humidity inside the tank is 60-65°, but for some reason when I put my hygrometer inside the hot hide for a few minutes, it read 95-100% humidity. Is this ok for the hot side? I’m afraid to make it any hotter because if he burrows he could burn himself. This is my first question… is that normal for it to be 92 at the bottom of the enclosure and as far off as 78-80° at the top of the substrate. I have a UTH connected to a thermostat set at 80° surface temp, and the glass at the bottom is 92° (using a IR heat gun). I’m using a mixture of repti bark and Forrest floor cypress mulch as my substrate. Getting my first snake (a BP) in a few days and I’m having some trouble with the humidity inside the hot hide.
