Also, here's my link to a review on here of Etsy/ArtfullyWalls/Society6 artists in case you want to shop for yourself/others with the upcoming sales.
your heating system and temperatures are a problem. your equipment to monitor your temperature and humidity is a problem. your humidity maintenance is a problem. your log hide is a problem. your small water dish is a problem. your lid clips are a problem.
my advice is to ditch the tank and start over. it's possible to make glass tanks with screen lids work for ball pythons, but it requires a lot of modification and maintenance. many of the tricks to increase heat will decrease humidity, and it becomes this domino effect you have to balance properly or everything falls to pieces. a plastic setup is your best bet right now. plastic is a better insulator for heat, and with a tub you have 100% control over the air flow [and therefor 100% control over the humidity] because you have to drill your own air holes. here's a list of basic necessities for a low budget:
Homebrew Materials:
Vacuum Pump Oil

Mortar and Pestle (If you're doing orals, get this... Otherwise, you're playing Russian Roulette with your doses and liver)
Funnel (For pouring into small places)
Alconox (For clean your shit)
Temperature Gun (How hot is my shit?)
Graduated Cylinder (If you measure with beakers, you're a fucking idiot... And you should consider Volumetric Flasks)
Beaker Set
1 Liter Beaker (Because brewing en'masse is better)
Scale (I have a 2kg one, too)
Calibration Weight Set
Calibration Weight 100g (Because you need two for the scale linked)
Vacuum Regulator (Unless you want to filter 9001 times due to broken shit)

Did I miss something? Probably. Yes.
Get one of these: http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CVHIJDK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I think I actually paid $12 a couple of weeks ago.
You really need an infrared temperature gun for just this reason. This would detect surface temperature. It's a snake owner staple.
Edit: this is the one I have, and it works great
Chamber and pump - $235
Glass extract tube that holds 60 grams - $40 A larger tube may be necessary, I don't know how big your pants are but Amazon has tons of different sizes to choose from.
25 micron Mean Screenz - $20
Thermometer gun - $17
PTFE sheet to blast onto - $20
I use these rubber gaskets to attach my screens on and tighten a hose clamp over the gasket - $15 So the order will be glass tube, screen, gasket, hose clamp.
Presto griddle - $23
This gives you a total of $370 with plenty room for shipping, butane, and anything else you may need.
This is why I got one of these
something like this
I'd do it like this for 100ml
10g test 20g tren 20g mast
Displaced fluid: 9.43 + 18.18 + 15 (used .75 for mast displacement via google)
2ml BA
16 ml bb
60.61 ml from above
I'd make the rest like this
(39.39ml)80% EO + (39.39)20% oil if it doesn't mix completely
80% EO + 3-6% guaiacol (start with 3 add more if needed) + rest oil
Feel free to tell me if I'm wrong about anything cause I'm learning still :)
Also if you plan on using heat I'd get one of these to keep it Gucci for tren

I have an Oneida digital thermometer that I find indispensable, both for keeping tabs on the water temp for my yeast starter, as well as taking a final must temp reading, etc.
As much as I like it, i'm kinda dying to try out one of these bad boys.
Get an IR Thermometer so you can measure the surface temperature. The surface temperature can sometimes be surprisingly higher than the ambient air temperature.
I'm assuming you're using a torch and a titanium domeless nail. The best and most precise way to take low temp dabs is to buy yourself an infrared thermometer and measure your temps that way.
(http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00CVHIJDK/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1421443336&sr=8-1&dpPl=1&dpID=51yFyraWgJL&ref=plSrch&pi=AC_SY200_QL40)
Another method (sighting) is just to heat up your nail to a slight red, then allow it to cool. This takes trial and error. Time how long it takes to cool (5, 10, 15 seconds) and then take your dab, cap it. Check if there's any oil left on your nail, if so then your nail is too cold and you should take your dab sooner. If you took your dab too soon, the you'll get a slight burn and diminished flavor in your dabs.
I find waiting 8-10 seconds after torching is the best for me, but everyone's nail is different.
The middle of mine are a bit soft, but not unpleasantly so.
I use a pizza stone in the oven, and I pre-heat it till the stone gets to ~400F (takes like 40 minutes). I have an infrared thermometer I use to read the temp of the stone.
I've read that Kale is supposed to be used sparingly, it's not the bulk of her diet. I pick out the spinach and romaine from the spring mix. I am looking for endive, dandelion greens, and edible flowers now. I have a temperature gun for testing temperature.
I hope the infrared works fine, I wanted a bulb that would work at night in case the apartment gets cold. If needed I can switch that out though. I have a UV light also that is on for a 12hr cycle.
Buy a small one, at walmart, for like 30-40 bucks. Use it outside. More expensive fryers are mostly for aesthetics and in my experience dont fry any better. You might however like name brand stuff that has your favorite "Kitchen aid" logo that you would like to match to the rest of your kitchen. If this is you, then spend the extra money if you want. I personally just want bang for the buck, and i don't leave my fryer out on my counter as a showpiece or anything. Others might tell you im full of shit and their $80 or $150 dollar fryer is much better, which is fine but unless you plan on frying a ton of stuff, and you need a ton of room to fry large batches of stuff, a small reasonably priced fryer will do just fine if you maintain it well and keep it clean. Here are some examples:
Reason? Well, a small fryer lets you fry in small batches. Unless you have a large family and need to fry a ton of stuff, this is the way to go. Sure, you might have larger temperature changes due to the size ( when you drop food in it drops the temp sometimes complicating or even ruining your cooking ) but the small size lets you change the oil easier, clean it easier, and store it easier.
Because lets face it, hopefully your not planning on eating a TON of fried food. Sometimes making some cheese sticks, jalapenos, mushrooms, french fries, wings, etc is great, but it shouldn't be a majority of your eating experience. Unless you don't care about personal health.
ProTip: use it outside. Reasoning: Your house will smell like a french fry. Plus, grease flies out of the fryer and gets on everything, and it will get on everything in your house. The stench will permeate your couch, carpets, clothes, and more. You will leave home to go to work, run errands, etc... and you'll come home to that nice, greasy egg roll smell as you open the front door.
Its not pleasant. I learned this, and started frying outside. I also got a small fryer that had great reviews and wasn't super expensive. The parts, except the heating element, are all dishwasher safe. Also you will save money by not buying, or buying INTO, the whole sealed fryer with carbon filter blah blah blah. If you plan on keeping a fryer that features that indoors, it'll still smell. You still have to open the fryer at some point while cooking, which again, makes your house smell. And I HATE that smell in my home. Ive had a $120 dollar fryer and it performed just like my $30 dollar model, just looked super snazzy which i don't give a flying f** about since its not a counter-top item that gets daily use in my household.
My .02 anyways. I hate the house smelling like a french fry, and a small fryer is easy to store in your garage, easy to clean and operate. Plus i have a small 2 year old daughter and since i only use it outside on the porch, shes never around it which minimizes any injuries ( that could be catastrophic... grease burns / fires are serious biz )
At the end of the day, a fryer is a simple device. Heating Element, temp knobs, bucket for grease, and a basket with a lid. There are more expensive options, but your paying for brand name, looks, and you might want to drop 75-100 bucks for one that has a digital readout that can* be more accurate.
I myself have a digital thermometer in my kitchen i use for steaks and such ( any good cook should have one imho ) but it also helps me verify temp. With that said, i have i think the $30 dollar model i posted and its temp control is spot on. If you do want a digital one, i personally would just get a non digital one, then invest in a thermometer since you can use it for SO many things, including your new deep fryer. I also have a "laser thermometer" that works as well and can be used again for many many things in your home.

I have both styles of thermometers, and i use my pen style a lot ( its like the bottom one, but mine is white and i got it at a local grocery store for about 10 bucks... has a hold button but is pretty much the same deal )
Hope I helped you. Good luck and be safe!
I have a similar one. It works very well.
Use a non-contact thermometer to check the temp of the ceiling radiator:
https://www.amazon.com/Nubee-Temperature-Non-contact-Infrared-Thermometer/dp/B00CVHIJDK
If it IS getting hot, then a reflective radiant barrier behind the pipes could send more heat towards you, and less into the ceiling. A simple fan blowing on the pipes could help, as well.
If it is not getting hot, then that should be addressed.
Those dial thermometers are notoriously inaccurate. If her tank and/or basking spot is too hot or too cold, that could cause appetite issues and lethargic behavior. This infrared thermometer on sale right now (not sure for how long) at Amazon that is $11 (after applying the coupon code NGUN6OFF). Too bad there isn't free shipping, but maybe you've got Amazon Prime. :)
Looking back at your previous reply, it escaped my notice that the dial thermometer is reading 85-90 on the cool side of the tank. It's difficult to tell, but I think your tank might be too hot. You might try raising the basking bulb or using a lower wattage bulb and see if she improves.
How often are you bathing her or giving her water orally?
I get into decorating my tanks, but I am pretty boring with my backgrounds. I just get a desert scene aquarium background and tape it to corrugated cardboard (which helps insulate the tank, and presumably leads to slightly lower electricity bills for me). For a long time, I've wanted to make a cool background with ledges and caves.. If you are the DIY type, you might like this site and here is an inspirational thread.
Damn, you went high-end. I bought this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CVHIJDK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This one. A lot of the reviews are complaining about the accuracy, but this is within a degree of two other thermometers that I use
I have no complaints about it at all. I've had it for a few years, I use it every day, I have never had to change the battery, and it's accurate. Probably the best $20 I have ever spent.
Order one of these, it should help you figure out when the pot is evenly hot. One sale now :)
Get some 190 proof Everclear / Golden Grain / Pure Grain Alcohol.
This stuff is made for human consumption, so I would use that. Then for bud, you would wash the herb a couple of times quickly in fresh alcohol.
Then you get a small cheap crockpot from Target for like $12 and use that to evap off the alcohol.
You still need to decarb the herb, so you can do that in two ways. Get a temperature gun from Amazon -- they are super useful. This one is less than $20 and should work fine.
Then you want to decarb the THC. Do this either before you wash the herb in alcohol or you can decarb the tincture after you have made it. You turn the crock pot on high and that will put it around 230 degrees f, and you decarb it for an hour or two. If you decarb the tincture after you have made it, then all the alcohol will evaporate and you will want to pour fresh alcohol into the crock pot.
Make sure to use the crock pot in a drafty place if you are evaporating off any alcohol -- you don't want a fire or explosion to happen, so you need fresh air.
THC dissolves very easily in alcohol, so making a tincture this way is easy and pretty fast, except for decarbing.
You could buy one of these babies and measure each panel before and after turning it on:

It’s even possible you could do that from the ground otherwise you’d have to climb up there.

Theres a guide on the sidebar to the right that should cover most of the basic care requirements. It will take him some time to get used to his new environment, so its ok if he seems extra skittish for a while and uninterested in food, just keep handling to a minimum for now. They can be very timid when they are still young too. They use their tail as a fat reserve and can go a while not eating. Generally a nice plump tail is a sign of good health and they will spend most of the day sleeping anyway.
Tiles are great flooring, safe and easy to clean. You dont need a thermometer stuck to the side of the tank as the floor temperature is more important than the air temperature. The floor temp needs to be around 90 F on one side and about 75-80 on the cooler side so they can regulate their body temp if the get too warm. Above 95 is too much. They need the 90 to be able to digest their food so it is important. Grab a cheap infared one like this to check your temps with. They are super cheap, more accurate than the pet store ones, and you can spot check temps around your tank instantly. It will make your life much easier.
A 10 gallon tank is ok for now, but a 20 gallon long will suit him much better as they can be pretty active at night and will appreciate the extra floor space to explore. It also helps in achieving a heat gradient which is hard to do with something as small as a 10 gallon.
Typically the best way to heat the tank is a heating pad under the tank controlled by a thermostat to keep it at a steady temp. The heat mat should cover about 1/3 the floor of the tank. This setup is usually simpler and cheaper than lights that the stores will try to sell, more reliable temperatures too. Heating lamps arent really necessary because they are not basking animals and prefer to hide all day then come out on the warm rocks at night, but they are ok to help give hem a day/night cycle if the room is dark and you can use a regular light bulb if its cold where you live to raise the temps just a little.
What are you feeding them? You did make sure to grab the proper calciumand multivitamins right?
Get an IR temp gun like one of these to check it before you place material on it.
Those are just my 2 cents and you can find a lot of information on the subject online and I don't claim my way is better than someone else's.
Tempering with a kitchen oven or a toaster oven can be a bitch. Mine overshoots a lot, so I got a thermometer gun for $10 and I put the oven on bake with no convection and i wait that the temperature stabilizes a little and I keep an eye on the colour knife with a flashlight. I set my temperature at 175 on my toaster oven to give you an idea. I do 3 times 20 minutes and cool down to room temperature for my 1095 steel which should be about the steel that you are using. Tempering depends a lot on the thickness of the metal you're using.
Just a thing to keep in mind. Short blades are less likely to snap off than longer ones and therefore, they need less tempering. For my short blades I aim a temperature of 350-380 degrees (When the metal starts to turn straw yellow at the edges, i turn the toaster down a bit to not over shoot).
Here is just to give you an idea what I use to track the oven and knife temperature. http://www.amazon.com/Nubee-Temperature-Non-contact-Infrared-Thermometer/dp/B00CVHIJDK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421003684&sr=8-1&keywords=thermometer+gun
I like the shape of the blade of your friction folder. I tried to make a folding knife, but I abandoned :P.
If it can help, I agree with you the thumb lever should be moved outwards and the edge shouldn't go past the pivot point. Try putting your knife on a sheet of paper, put a nail where the pivot hole is then draw the shape of your handle and interior cuts with dotted lines.
Happy Crafting!
if your heat is on and your house isn't retaining it, i would certainly double check the insulation.
buy this Nubee® Temperature Gun Non-contact Infrared Thermometer w/ Laser Sight it cost about $16 on amazon. with it you can track your heat loss.
I walked around my basement sealing up all the windows with Seal N Peel in a caulking gun...it's a removable silicon caulk, and i found a lot of GAPS between the cinderblocks where you could SEE outside. SO i filled them all up with Spray Foam Insulation.
The Infrared Thermometer will help you find drafts, you can even walk around outside and aim it at your windows and eaves and doors. (mind you the further you are away the less accurate)
I blocked off my entire second floor this winter because i need to reinsulate the back stairs. the 1st floor has old blow in insulation that has settled. so next year i will add more.
If you're that concerned get one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/Nubee-Temperature-Non-contact-Infrared-Thermometer/dp/B00CVHIJDK/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1418826347&sr=1-1&keywords=infrared+digital+thermometer
Or something similar.
I checked my duct work and most of it was the same ambient temperature as the attic itself. If it was badly insulated (and it was in a few spots) then it would register as cooler than nearby wood and such. Most of the attic was 125 degrees in August. A few bits of duct registered as 100 where the insulation was bad. The highest point of the attic was 145 degrees but that temperature was reached very suddenly. Most of the way up it was still 125.
Yes, these are far more precise. You can get a very accurate reading of the surface tem0 so exactly what your leo will be touching. Very useful

Really, any temp gun (I use IR guns) will work well, so just use whatever. Mine was a low cost one from amazon (I think I went with this one and look, it's on sale).
And the best solution to heat issues if you end up having them with UTH and don't want to remove it is to buffer with more materials. Obviously, the thicker the material the less heat conducive it is. Newspaper works well because it's easily replaced and insulates fairly well while still being hard to dig under. You can also use a felt type fabric (Zoo Med and Zilla sell "reptile carpet" but it's just felt) as it can be removed and washed and is thick enough to buffer heat.
Perhaps an infrared thermometer? I have never seen this used for brewing, and I'd be concerned with accuracy, but it's a relatively cheap option that you may want to look in to.
Edit: this one in particular claims to be up to 2% or 2°C off in either direction. It probably wouldn't be useful.
Buy a laser (IR) thermometer to get some objective data. I use mine daily. It's invaluable for lots of common chores

Personally I use an infrared thermometer like this one to measure my oil temperature to make sure it doesn't get too high.
