I'm really sorry for picking everyones brain so much, but being new and all, I want to make sure I do everything right. And all of you have been sooo helpful . Here's my new question: The temps in the tank have settled now. . . 72 on the cool, 82 on the warm. The problem is though, that the humidity is 45 on the warm side, and all the way up at 68 on the cool side. I've noticed both (who will soon be moved to separate enclosures) like to chill out in the very middle of the tank on the bottom, with the exception of a little exploring . I am concerned about the cool sides humidity. . . I've found varying info. Some sites don't mention exact humidity, while I've also read 30 or a little higher is good. . . anyone know if mine is too high? I have a homemade lid (egg crate and pastic) with LOTS of holes drilled into it. If the humidity is too high, then I will go get a screen lid. I'm sure that will solve the problem. I was just wondering if anyone thinks this is nescessary. I feel so silly . . . I did research on these guys before I bought, but the main source of information came from my local reptile shop. I don't think they gave me good information They told me not to worry about humidity, and room temp is fine. I'm trying to be a good "mommy" and I keep reading and doing research, but now I find a LOT of information that contradicts everything they have told me. I'm finding that there a lot of different opinions when it comes to corn snakes and husbandry, so I come here to find the best consensus. I really hope I don't annoy you all with my "?" seeing as how I'm sure you've answered them a million times before. All I ask is that you please be patient with me. thanks for everything guys. Sorry so long winded
