Im newb with BP's

You really really really need to do something about that humidity... 23% is asking for an RI... if your tight on cash... 10$ for a 66qt tub thats pretty much the same dimensions as that 20 gallon... You can either cough up 10$ for a tub... and your humidity will be MUCH better... or you can wait till your snake gets an RI then needs to go to the vet which can cost up to 100$ easily pending the vet... Save the time and the money... pick up a tub... Also Im curious as to how you got 83 ambient temps... 90 on the hot side... but you got a cold spot of 73?

in the tub, How would i heat the bottom? how about the of the tank? idk how that would work.

You heat the tub with a heat pad... same way as a tank.

the half log hides are 'ok'

a better option, if you're strapped for cash would be to go to a .99 cent store and buy a cheap plastic bowl, cut a small hole in it (either the top or the side) and voila....

bps like small tight spaces - here are two types that I currently use

idk how that would work tho, i dont have a thermostat so id like melt the bottom with the heat pad. could him not be eating because of the humidity?

a thermostat is a must have when using a mat as heat mats get very hut and could burn snake or as ya sayin if outside melt the plastic

Im getting a thermostat, but i am worried about humidity, what should i do to raise humidity+security.

Humidity should be - 30% when not in shed and 60% during shed.
You dont want it too wet inside or he will get scale rot and too dry and you will have a horrible shed. QUOTE]

Should the temps and humidity really be like that? Becase the caresheet says something completely different.

55-60

65-70 is what I use
