Okay, stupid rubbermaid question.

Ohh ok. Thanks for letting me know. My aunt was going to give me this 60 gal glass tank she had for hers, but I'd rather the snake be happy than be able to see him/her all the time. And that mesh you're talking about, is it the rubber coated stuff or the --- cloth (sorry I didn't know the word)? I would think to use the rubber coated mesh so they wouldn't hurt themselves if they bumped their head on it. I appreciate all of ya'lls help.

The mesh is also called hardware cloth and if you're lucky you can find it with rubber coating to reduce nose rub problems. If you can't, though, you can also buy craft mesh at Joann's or WalMart or Hambrick's or Michael's or whatever store you have that sells such things, and it's a plastic mesh that people use for a sort of rudimentary embroidery and would be perfectly usable if you clip out a couple of little crossbars to make the holes a little bigger (1/4" or so).

Okay, I ended up drilling some more holes, in the top of my rubbermaid, yesterday because the humidity was just way too high, getting over 80%. I also checked the outside humidity for where I live on Yahoo weather and it said 100% humidity at the time, so that might not have helped. Anyway, the humidity in the enclosure is down to 69% now which is still just a little higher than I'd like it, but I'm hoping it will go down as the outside humidity goes down? 100% humidity is pretty high for southern california, it's usually around 50 from what I've seen.
