Well my gf and I just bought him from petsmart for $50 and spent about $500 on a tank, bedding, hiding spot, water bowl, thermometer, two lamps, etc, etc, etc. This was all at the advice of a store worker, but after reading up on this site I feel like my habitat isn't so great. I've attached some pics. I'd love opinions but I'm also not wanting to render my $500 habitat useless unless absolutely necessary.

My main concerns are that I have two heat lamps, one being a 100w heat bulb for reptile enclosures and another 75w infrared bulb. I have the 100w on a 12 hour timer from 6a-6p and the infrared running the other 12 hours at night. Is it ok to leave them running all the time? I bought an analog temp and humidity sensor and it's been about 85 degrees and 50-60% humidity. I live in the dry climate of west Texas so I don't know how to keep it humid enough if the bulbs burn off all the humidity.

The top of the tank is a screen, and I love the front doors that make feeding and handling easy because they swing out. So far Mr. Snuggles is about 1.5 feet long and about an inch or so in diameter. I haven't fed him yet because the worker told me to wait about a week.

How do I keep humidity at the correct level (of 50-65%?) when I leave next week for 7 days? Thanks for all your help and opinions in advance!
