New to the reptile world

Lovely little rodent killer! Best wishes. How is the weather up there in the Salinas valley.

I'm more southbay so temps are pretty cold! I'm struggling to keep ambient temps up without an overhead heat source. Going to most likely set up an overhead heat lamp (in red or blue of course) to help bring up ambient temps a little bit. My SO built a tub style enclosure for me so humidity isn't an issue. On the other hand, my crested gecko enclosure needs to be misted sometimes up to 3 times a day to keep up with humidity requirements. Great thing about snakes are the husbandry challenges that make the hobby exciting!
