Need a little help..

I have my ball python in a 20 gallon glass aquarium. Im haveing a horrible time getting the temerature and humidity right. Ive read the "Glass tank setup..." guide but none of my local pet stores have thermostats. Im now useing a 60 watt daytime heat light, with two small undertank heaters.. he constantly stays on the cold side.. Ive also tryed the tinfoil and ducktapeing the top and I still cant control the humidity. Please try to help me xD

Thanks, Matt

Do i need to get 2? One for each side?

one thermostat will do fine for the warm side just to make sure it doesnt get too warm or too cold.

Don't mean to say you are wrong. But that thermostat is not trustworthy.I used to own because I thought it would work but It always would go out of control and when I would put the temp on 92 it either went to 80-85 or 100-105. If I were you don't buy it.
