    I do see an analog type gauge, buy an accurite from hd or waly world, to measure temp & humidity.

    Those lamps are going to suck up your humidity,
    I would place hides at opposite ends of tank and place water dish in the middle.
    Cover your lid with aluminum foils or plastic to hold in humidity.

    Is that 2 snakes that I'm seeing in your tank?
    It is recommended that BP's be housed seperately, unless breeding.

    You might want to switch to using a heat pad instead of lamps, but you will need at least a dimmer for the heat pad.

    Also, it looks like you have a normal and a pastel in there. It isn't recommend that you house 2 together, and you should quarantine new snakes. If you only have 1 in there, I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions.

    The care sheet should be able to give you a few more pointers. Congrats on your new pastel.

    EDIT: I would also try to find a new place for the tank. Having it by your stove is going to cause heat spikes when you cook.

    If you are using a heat pad you shouldn't need the lamps. You need at least a dimmer for the heat pad. They get really hot and can burn your snakes.

    You need to move one of the snakes out. The only time snakes should be kept together is when they are breeding and even then it's only for a few days a week.

    You should still try to move them away from your stove as well it will cause heat spikes when you cook.

    Did you quarantine your new snake before you put it in with the one you already had?
