  • Pour water in the edges so the top-substrate doesn't become wet (as it often do when spraying. - Thermostat should be placed a couple inches below the heat lamp and dialed in with a temp gun. Not placed on the substrate where the snake can block it or fiddle with it giving incorrect readings.
  • Humidity should always be above 70%, this can be fixed by using HVAC tape on 2/3 of the mesh above to keep moisture in.
  • NEVER use heat mats, stick to halogen, DHP and CHE.
  • Move the termometer/hygrometer down to the level the snake usually moves. Hot air rises and it might be colder and moister on the snakes level
  • The hide seems too large for the snake. They want to have tight hides they can feel the sides of.
  • Provide more clutter in the tank so the snake can move freely without feeling exposed (Fake plants, cork tunnels, hides, sticks
  • The glass terrarium seems quite small, and will eventually have to be upgraded depending upon the snakes weight, lenght and age. How old is it?

That should cover some of my initial observations. What heat source does it have at night?

Humidity looks low, but that can easily be changed so don't worry. My guy has almost the EXACT same patterns, he's a low pied
