Hi Im a new ball python owner. I got mine like 5 days ago.
When I got my snake the humidity in the tank was ok a little low at 40%.
After 2 days of having it I had to move it to a different location in the house where the tank is not as warm.
So to combat this i used heating lamps. the problem with this is the humidity is gone down to 10% and i can not keep it up.
So I tried moistening the bedding a little misting and some splashing water into the tank when i would take her out. I
t seemed to work for a little but it would dry out easily.
So the problem is is that she feels dry i think she might be about to shed soon since she is getting darker.
so how should i raise the temperature in the tank without lowering the humidity.
My last problem is she has a red scale kinda thing going on its only one scale the reason.
Im concerned is cause 1 i dont want it to be scale rot obviously and 2 how did it acquire it.
It hasn't defecated in my tank yet the tank is clean please help.
