I give up

[barbie.dragon]

Ok I stubbornly have a 20 gallon long tank, 2 hides, aspen blah blah blah. 65% humidity, 87 degrees F hot, 78 cold. And it's a nightmare to keep it like this. A NIGHTMARE. Every nigh I have to wet the towels to keep the humidity up, clutter the place with crumpled newspaper (the snake shows great affinity in using the newspaper as a hide. And crawls over it many times.), finding urates and feces is a sick treasure hunt through the aspen. And not to mention the snake loves to make aspen tea in her water bowl. Oh yeah not to mention I wake up at night because the snake always makes those crinkly sounds by crawling on the newspaper. I have to block 3.5 sides for her to feel safe. The last straw was when I found some dried poop and urates mixed in the aspen. I realized that this is very disgusting and will affect my snake's health. And I can't live with that ever. Sounds like over reacting but I'm very very intense when it comes to providing care for an animal in my possession (and other people's but they don't appreciate it too much. Too bad or then.) /endrant

The point is I'm switching to a rack.
Problem:
My room fluctuates between 70-78degrees. I have a weird Asian heating thing that looks like a fan and I turn that on when it gets to 73 or so. It gets to 70 only during the cold season which lasts for maybe a month or two. And this is at night time. I can obviously turn the heater in before I go to bed so my snakes don't freeze.

I have 16 ish quarts of aspen left... Sigh.

And I'm pretty much terrified of the fact that I will end up buying more snakes to fill the rack. And it doesn't help that i live 10-15 minutes away from Brian Gundy. I think the only solution is to... Buy more snakes. So I guess that's a problem solved.

But on a more serious note the temperature should be ok right? And I was planning to order an animal plastics rack but I have a few issues. I really want the 4/8 economy rack (for the size) but I also want an enclosed rack. The enclosed ones hold at least 7 shelves. Do they make enclosed racks that are 4/8?
