• In the past two days I have gotten emails asking about being requested to provide credit card info in order to register and also to make a post in the classifieds forums. PLEASE NOTE: In no instance will this site ask you for this sort of information. The only time any request for payment is made is if you choose to opt-in for a higher membership level, and that is done SOLELY through PayPal. Anything else is coming from a source other than this site. My guess is that this is coming through Google Adsense, but when I can get someone to send me a screen shot of this sort of request, I will know more.

I'm trying to set up my 18x18 glass viv to house a hognose (high 70's cool side 90 warm side). I have a 6x17 ultratherm with a thermostat hooked up to it. My probe for the thermostat is between the mat and tank and I have a digital themometer probe for each side of the tank. Both thermometer probes are under the substrate against the glass, the cooler one reads 80.8 while the warmer one reads 88.4. Ambient air temp throughout the ENTIRE tank is about 85. Am I doing this right? Are my probes in the correct places? I'm worried about my future snake not being able to thermo-regulate..

Thanks!
 
Hoggies don't need to be too warm. Try decreasing the thermostat setting until the temp on the glass over the hot side is 86-87*F and see how it works out.
