*I'm sorry I left that detail out lol

*They are kept in a large but still small critter tote with a small UTH on one side. Paper towel used for bedding and the water dish on the non heated side. Hide spot is on heated side. I cover the totes every side with a dark towel so it is dark inside the cage. The top is ventilated so I covered it as well leaving little room for ventilation.

*When I feed I have also tried overnight only to find a disgusting odor every morning! I haven't handled them as of yet and will wait until they are about 20 inches or gain some size. I wonder if the UTH that is built for 1-5 gallons is too hot since they seem to be on the cool side most of the time. I am trying to combat this by creating a thicker layer of cover or newspaper on the bottom but it hasn't worked as they are still on the cool side more often.

No central air cooling just room temps. Cage temp is at 79 but can be 80 to 81 when the day heats up.
