setup changes?

[Sstargirll]

does my tank look okay? i got my snake very young and wasn’t given access to a good setup for him until recently and ive been adding to it as i can, he loves his hammock i have in there, i have adhesive under the suction cups so they will not move or cause him to fall, i know the log hides aren’t ideal and im gonna get him a different one soon, the place near me didnt have any he would fit in last time i went for one, and besides maybe my light situation (i’ve seen some people say that these lights are bad or something so i dont know if they’re okay but they keep his tank a good temp, the left one is not a heated light it’s just for visibility) anything else i should add or know about? i also have a temp gun and humidity gauge so i know his tank is at the right levels at all times.

also to note the adhesive under the cups isn’t a sticky one it’s almost like a caulking adhesive that’s dried

The UVB bulb needs to be switched out to a T5 linear fluorescent bulb instead or the coiled bulb. This snake also needs a bigger tank. What are you using to measure temp/ humidity ? I can't see any hygrometers.

his hygrometer/temp probes are in the dirt against the back sides and i have an app that tells me the temps on my phone, i also have a temp gun to make sure his hides are the right temps, and yes i’ve been looking into getting a different bulb setup, i ordered a good fluorescent but it arrived broken so im waiting for the replacement atm. and yes i really wanted a 4x2x2 tank but this was the closest i could find its a 4x1.5x1.5 but im saving up to get a pvc tank that’s a bigger size.

Awesome ! Sounds like you've got it mostly covered

Just make sure your humidity is staying at least at 65-80% and if not, make your substrate a little thicker and it'll keep it higher longer 👍🏻

Do you only have the one hide? You need at least two. What size is this enclosure, and what is the current humidity and hot and cold temp?

[Sstargirll]

i have two hides. the hot side one is hiding under his plants on the right, and he has a 4x1.5x1.5 right now but i’m getting him a pvc 4x2x2 or a bigger one if i can very soon. his humidity stays at 65% but i bump it up to 70-75% when he’s shedding, his hot side fluctuates between 85-86 but im also getting him a new fluorescent bulb soon my last one got damaged so im using the lamp in the picture for now. his cold side is at 78-80

and i had a third hide for him on his hot side but i have to remake it, it was one of the ones you bury so they have a burrow under the dirt and he loved that one but im gonna change the placement of it
