So I'm Very New at this and need alot of help....

Humidity is no less than 60%. Hot side temp 90 cool side 85 ambient is 80. Please read the stickies before buying anything. A hide on each side that are identical. Cover three sides of the tank. Get a temperature gun, an accurite digital gauge for humidity and ambient temp.

I took the humidity gauge out after the incident with the adhesive because it had some on there too so I'm not entirely sure how it is in there. Humidity in my house is at 42% so I wanna hope its around there. First thing tomorrow im getting the new gauges.

Is there any bedding you'd recommend to help with the humidity?

any coconut bedding.

you should be using digital thermometers/hygrometers because those analog "stick-on" dials are essentially decoration and are wildly inaccurate.

I was reading it but am curious as to how I measure the floor temperature?

Yeah I trashed those, I have one thats a probe and gives me exact numbers, I need more like it.

Is it okay to change bedding when she's in the middle of a molt? and feeding day is tomorrow should I go through with it or wait?

Sorry for the questions but I really appreciate all the help

Taylor can you do links with the crayon pic? I can't link anything? Also the sticky thread on glass tank set up?

the thread i linked shows a probed thermometer with that setup, and that's how you read it. you can also use an infrared temp gun which is honestly such an invaluable tool in this hobby. i recommend you get one if you can.

yes, as the snake will need the humidity boost that comes with a better suited substrate.

I recently switched to cypress mulch, the humidity boost and odor control is fantastic!

I have heard that coconut is great too, and might switch to that.

So I'll work on doing that too tomorrow, any recommendations on getting the snake out of her current cage?
