Hi Todd. Your right.To be fair, I think I need to incorporate some grape vine etc. to allow them access to get closer to the light but the heat pad placed under the large hide under the light shows 113 with the temp gun and the cool moist hide is low 60s high 50s with the temp gun (ambient cellar temps when heat is not boosted for laundry/workbench type chores).

I had the pleasure of a short trip out west a few years back. Mt.Lemon.The Desert Museum, Rattlesnake museum etc Arizona and New mexico but it was so different from out here in the east and my time was so limited I couldn't do much but take quick pics. It was beautiful! Not enough of a stay to really get a feel for these things folks on here talk about.If you get a chance to visit the Desert Museum I think you'll really like it.

Loved those Splendida pics of yours. Folks like me that really can't see much get a real vicarious thrill from folks like yourself, FR, and everybody else posting first hand observations in the field.

Sometimes I think the kid with two pet snakes has something that those of us with 50 to 200 lost a long time ago.
