    Re: my work in progress

    ok so the past 2 nights i have been using the light from my temporary setup in the new enclosure, what do you guys think of these temps?

    about 84F on the hot side, about 80F on the cool side. first time ever using these temp strips so im having a hard time understanding what the temp really is, so maybe someone can help me out here. ive read on a webpage you go by the brightes colour, so thats what i went by, this is also with the 3x3" fan running, if i turn the fan off the hot side jumps up to 86F

    this is what i have

    I have heard those don't give you the exact temps... This is what I have in all my reptiles enclosures..

    Acu-Rite Digital Humidity Monitor & Thermometer

    you can find it at Wal mart, for under $15

    thats almost and hour and a half without the fan running, now with the fan on the temps are down to 81F already.

    Re: my work in progress

    ok so the temps are a luittle different, without the fan running all night when i woke up it was 90F inside the enclosure so i turnd the fan on and it stayd at about 80-81F. with the light off and no air flow the temp is at 75F. are these temps acceptible?


    and a little update, went out and got a climbing branch and found a neat little hide thats actually for a fishtank but i think it looked neat.



    and you guys were right, now with a few more things inside the enclosure im starting to liek the vine i put over top

    oh i also lowerd the temp strips as someone said about them being too high before

    The snake shelter is looking awesome! very creative thinking.

    wouldn't one of these fans look cool or a pair?

    i have a few of those fans but they are in my 4 PC's .

    the goldfish are for scenting. i went with goldfish because they seem to last forever no matter what temp the water is or the lighting, i had one live in a cooler for months when i was a young kid.

    local shop didnt have minnows . from what ive been reading goldfish are real dirty fish and shouldnt be fed to snakes so im kinda screwd for food right now, gunna try another pinky in a few days.

    anyone got any idea about my temps? i just got done backing the new limb for the enclosure so i will be set to transfer the snake to the new enclosure once i find out about my temps
