Got a big problem. I just got a snake over the weekend and it came with a 20 gallon tank, mulch, water dish, one hide box, and (1) heat lamp, mesh framed lid. I went to one of the local reptile shop that is known to have alot of supplies and bought a "thermostat" (little strip of nothing that is suppose to tell me what temp is in the cage-hahaha right), 2 more hid boxes, and clips to make sure my little buddy doesn't escape into my house with 3 cats. Anyway, I went to my vet and he told me theres a couple of problems, I can't know how much humidity is in the cage as well as he told me that it would be best if I could control the heat from the ground floor of the cage. He says he uses a Helix thermostat. (He gave me a couple of other options-where me being an amature at this, I'm just lost) I looked at the Helix thermostat but I have no idea if I got it what to do with it. Does anyone have pictures on how to correctly setup the cage for my snake so it doesn't develop RI or any other problems. Hes about 6 months old and right now hes not eating and I think the climate is the culprit. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks. ~Shannon
