Dragon, your tank is very bare..the Dollar Store is your friend, there's lots of fake plants in there.

Where's the hide for the cool end? We should not force the snake to have to chose between security and temps. It will stay where it feels most secure regardless of whether or not his body need another temp. They thermoregulate so need two different temps and should have the freedom to chose which temp is necessary though having to give up security. The log thing is pretty, but very open. It can still be used, but really I would suggest another hide like the tan one.

I would ditch the stickons, they are really inaccurate . Please read though some of the suggestions in this area and we have a ton of pics too, you should be able to get some great ideas and the other guys will be happy to help too!

i read somewhere forgot where tho and can't seem to find it anymore but you can just have a UTH without the heatlamp as long as you can maintain the temp right? i'm just worried that he'll get burn or something.

Read the sticky about t-stats....You can't have a uth or heat source without a t-stat. I woke up this morning and my t-stat (cheap one) either failed or misfunctioned but the reading was 110 degrees. That could cook a snake.

thx, so i already have a digi term/hygro. and a thermostat. and i just relocated the sensor and placed it right where the UTH is and now the readin is almost 100 so i turned the uth down a bit. another thing is my thermostat is the medzoo thermostat that doesn't show numbers or stuff like that mentioned in the T stat thead. so can someone recommend a decently priced one that i can replace the medzoo with? i'm assume i'm gonna need one with the day/night settings too. so any tips would be helpful i don't wanna go out and waste any more money on useless impractical stuff thx alot for the input so far.

This is a good one, but read the sticky on Thermostats at the top of this section. It has more good examples.
