Hello!

I purchased a T8 from AP a couple of months ago, and I've been having some issues with the heat and humidity.

First of all, there are two snakes in the cage with a divider. For heating, I'm using the flexwatt thing that I could order with the cage, and I have it centered on the bottom and hooked up to a thermostat. I've had to experiment with the temps a little bit to get it to the right temperatures. But I'm worried since my snakes only seem to stay on the cool side. Back in their old containers, which were glass aquariums, I would see them in both hides.

The other problem that I'm having is that the cage is way too humid. My humidity gauge said that it's up towards 60-70%. My plan to fix this was just to drill some more holes in the side of the cage, but I just wanted to see if there was anything else that I could try first before doing that. I don't even know how I'd go about drilling holes in the cage.

Neither snake seems to be too stressed out as they both are eating and are willing to be handled. I was actually able to get one of them to switch over to frozen rats after I moved her into the new cage.

Temps - cool ~80F hot ~ 94F
Humidity - 60-70%
substrate - paper towels


Thanks for any help!
