new here advice on bp tererium
Hey evryone i just got a ball python a few weeks ago and she only came in a 10 gallon at a little over 2 feet long. i aquired a 30 long and set it up with under tank heat pad on one side with a heat lamp i have a hide on hot and cool side as well as a decent size water dish and a log type piece that sits on hides so there is plenty of ground space. i have a screen top and 3/4 of it is covered in foil tape to help keep in humidity. the problem im having is that my temp is good for nights and days but my humidity id only about 45 and lower at night inside the tank. ive read to mist but not too often for fear of mold. i use aspen bedding. even with a mist the humidity only rises for a few minutes what can i do to help or is 45good enough. she just shed and it was all in one piece except for small piece of tail which i was able to roll off with warm water. any advice would be appriciated.

thanks for replies sorry it took so long for me to get back on here. i did not know heat lamp would have that negative effect i have a digital themometer and hygrometer but i have both probs centered in the rear of the tank. as it is not i can keep it around 84 with heat lamp slightly on. and humidity will hover between 40 and 48. like i said she shed in almost one whole piece maybe a half inch of tail came off a few days after. i will try cutting out heat lamp and getting some moss but the more i read as long as humidity is around 45 to 50 most of the time i should be fine right?
