Is that a thermostat probe dangling above the skull near the ceiling?
Yes

We have a 1/2 coconut shell. Would that be ok for a hide?
[doublepost=1552720340][/doublepost]I appreciate all your advice. Thank you all!
 
Honestly, half a coconut is one of the BEST hides :p just cut a little snippet out for an entry and bobs your uncle.

I guess make sure it hasnt been treated with chemicals
 
Do you have separate thermostats for the heat mat and lamp? If so, the lamp is going to heat up the thermostat probe and shut it off while the ground is still cold, so the snake will not be able to get warm.

The most important place to be measuring and controlling the temperature is ground level on the warm side, not suspended up in the air, because the snake can rest on the ground but can't hover up in the air near the ceiling.

The ground over the heat mat is 45,5 deg according to the gun
[doublepost=1552722203][/doublepost]I will turn the lamp off and see what the mat holds

I put the thermostat down to the base under the hide. when I check around with the gun its 35s, 34s around the area. The thermo say 35.
45 is at the hole to the hide
 
You need a smaller hide than that, so he can just squeeze into it
