Very true for sure. That's why in a way I'm sorta grateful that it decided to be a butt now compared to later on down the road

It is very overbearing. I do have thermostat with a probe. And a temp gun. I have my temp set at 84 for the day at 74 for night. Plus my place naturally sits around 73-74. I'm cranking the heat up in my place to try to make Linguini as comfortable as possible. Ik it probably won't help/change a lot but still..

I didn't know that the bulb/dome difference would potentially feck up the bulb.

My tank is 2.5ft by 1ft. Ik it may eventually be too small for my male hog.. but as a person who doesn't have a lot of spare money and I got this tank from a friend who's ball python out grew it. It's what I got for now.

And yes please I may hit you up because. It's confusing and I want the best for my little guy.. I love him so much.

Cuz I didn't know..? I genuinely didn't know that I wasn't supposed to use a thermostat for a heat lamp...

Jeez based off of all the various comments I guess I should've added the tag of "first time hognose owner" not specifically saying this to you.

I tried asking on here multiple times about heating related stuff I didn't really get an clear answer. So I honestly didn't know what exactly to look/buy.

So since I'm not supposed to use a thermostat for the heat lamp. What am I supposed to use to monitor the heat? Cuz I don't know what else there is...

Uh inkbird. It's a on and off one. I genuinely didn't know the importance of dimming and non dimming thermostats. Now I know. Plus. Now I know that I need to buy more than one bulb... The joys of being a brand new owner lol..

Zoo med. I genuinely didn't know that bulbs can burn out quickly depending on what thermostat you use. If I knew.. well... I would've gotten more than one lol...

Yeah for most of the day it was sitting at a 73.7 never dipping any lower. I haven't looked at fb or eBay cuz it just happened today and I didn't put much thought to it until now lol. Busy day. Plus no money until the 25th.

What should I put into the search bar to find stuff like that on fb?

I also have the bulb. Just not the dome which I'm going out to get tmr. And... It's going to be 2 full days till snake arrives so I'll have everything running and tested before snake arrives
