thanks for all the input. the temp. on the warm side is in the mid 80s. i used the same undertank heater for a couple years with my previous snake and it was fine. my current snake is about 3 months, and i'm not sure if its male or female.

i havent tried feeding live yet, but if you read my old post, the snake had eaten a thawed pinkie few times before it stopped eating, which is why i waited until now. but i ordered a couple live pinkies for tomorrow, so tomorrow night i'll try feeding live. i'm either gonna drop a live pinkie outside each of his hides, or i'll try feeding the live pinkie in a deli cup. does anyone have any opinions on which would be better bet?

also, most of you have said that my hides are the perfect size. does anyone else think that they're too tall? the past few days he seems to be splitting his time inside the hide or just coiled up on the side of the tank. right now, hes hanging out by the warm side of the tank, but outside the hide, so i'm fairly certain its not too hot. also, the hide currently on the warm side i had on the cool side the other day and he was using it frequently.
