Humidity/Temperature Assistance please.
Alright so, I've got a bit of a problem.
My husband and I live in a big 2 bedroom trailer home.
-Lights a Cigarette.-
So anyways, I'm being super worried and paranoid lately about equal temperatures in the house.
I live in Kansas so, we have very HOT summers, and very COLD winters.
Our house at this time is not insulated very well. Our windows and doors need to be replaced!
Really trying to push our Land Manager to fix these current problems and she's still waiting on word back from our out of state landlord.
Our living room and hallway are almost always cold, or hot in the summer. We haven't lived here long.
Our two bedrooms hold heat a little better, but the problem is, with the heat turned on, the temperatures in the snake tanks rises beyond 90!
When the heat isn't on it's either just above or below 80 degrees. I'll give you a little info about my snakes tanks, and I do need kind and caring info to make things better.
Sampson my male ball is in a 20gal tall, we will be moving him into a 20gal long before long. His tank has a screen locking top. We taped foil to the top of all lids, with one square cut out for heat lamps and a smaller one on the opposite side for ventilation. We were/are having problems keeping humidity up. All have screen tops.
Anastasia is in a 20gal long, with a red bulbed lamp and her heating area in her hide.
Kaa is in a 10gal with a heating pad in his hide, and his lamp above it also. His heating pad is also so hot, I had to slide a piece of paper towel over it so he didn't burn himself. Which seems to be working for the time being until we can get a thermostat to turn it down.
I mist them, because if not, they're completely dry due to our uncontrolled temperature changes.
What can I do to try and keep their temperatures and humidity where they need to be? I'm finding myself spraying them every morning to keep their bark moist, otherwise it just dries out. :\ It doesn't hold moisture for long, yet when I got the bark it was already moist inside the bag. Because of this I'm afraid of scale rot.
If you need anymore information, please ask, I'll try to answer, but I do need some advice. Thanks guys. <3
