How do I increase heat and humidity?

Hi[emoji112]🏽 I just got a baby ball python [emoji216]a couple of days ago. I have a 10gallon glass tank, infrared light that is kept on all the time, and a heat pad under the tank. I looked up so many things but it doesn't seem to be working. I have put a towel over the cool side of the tank to increase humidity. I have a humidifier in the room. I spray the tank.

I cannot buy another tank until he needs a larger tank, like a plastic one.

My last ideas are getting moss and.getting another lamp and maybe changing the substrate. But I hope the substrate can be a last resort[emoji16]

So, if anyone can share what they have set up themselves or tips, please please help me[emoji120]🏽

The humidity is usually around 50. And the temp is usually around 70.

Screen top?

First, make sure you get a thermostat for the heat pad. This way you will be able to dial in the exact temperature that you need! Second, go to petsmart or either petco or petland buy a "versa top" that fits a 10 gallon tank. The versa top will assist you in raising your humidity and it will help with your ambient temperatures. Best of luck. :salute:

Yeah I have a screen top

Or you can also cover most of the top in foil. Will help contain humidity.
