I just brought home another member of the Family, a juvenile BP. His set-up is a basic 20g long with a UTH and a basking lamp that I use to keep his day/nite.
The lid is a basic open screen and I am using repti-bark for a substrate. This is my first Python(rest are corns) and I want to achieve the proper set up for him as far as humidity and heat. I have two thermometers on each end and i am ranging btwn 80-90 depending on the which end and My hygrometer is set-up in the center and i am only getting about 45% humidity unless i mist several times a day. What can i do to retain humidity in the tank with out having to sacrifice ventilation or is wrapping a portion of the screen okay and if so how much? Also I have his water bowl set up in the warm end of his tank. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated since i want this guy to be happy here with the rest of the clan. Thanks everyone.
