    Right now it's 59% with the blanket over it.

    If you put that blanket over the cage when the bulbs are on, that could be dangerous for your both your snake and your house.

    I am sorry; I think that it is an awesome piece of work, but not ideal for a ball python; especially a subadult. I do not see how you can keep your house in the 80-degree temperature range without either running yourself broke in heating bills, or sweating to death..
    Screen cages also encourage respiratory infections.. drafts are natural in any room that is not mothballed..
    I am surprised that not many of the pros are weighing in here.. I am seriously not trying to start anything negative..

    I really don't like this for a living animal. :(

    It's a nice looking cage, I too feel that it would be somewhat hard to keep the temperatures/humidity right but if your doing it, kudo's to you!
    My male pastel loves to climb, he'd probably love all of the differen't climbing spots... Definetly be careful with the blanket though... In your case you'd probably be better putting some aluminum foil over the section your covering... Atleast it won't catch fire if one was to start. I'm sure a fire detecter in ANYBODY"S snake room wouldn't be a bad idea either... Electrical mishaps happen and you wouldn't want to lose a snake, entire collection, your house or you or your family...

    Good job though on the construction! looks well built!
