Heating And Humidity Issues
So I'm about to have my first ball python shipped. I have everything I need and it's all set up, but I've noticed two issues. First is the fact that the cool side of her tank, at the far end, is only 70°F. On her hot side, I have an under tank heater and a ceramic overhead heater, and the temperature there is 92°F. The tank is the 4 foot long terrestrial one from AnimalPlastics, so I'm guessing it's either too long for the heat to spread out evenly or the material AP makes their tanks out of is too insulated for the heat to get into the tank from there. The second issue is that the humidity level inside the tank is only 36%, even though her water is directly under the ceramic bulb and on top of the under tank heater. I was thinking maybe I could move the under tank heater to the middle to more evenly disperse heat, and I'm about to test that theory now, but I have no idea what to do about her humidity. Any and all advice is appreciated!! (Even unrelated to her heat and humidity, as I'm an inexperienced owner!)
