I can answer some of your questions. The snake is housed in a 20 gallon long tank. His last recorded weight was 207.5 grams. The last time I fed him was on May 1st. He ate a live rat fuzzy. The temperature on the warm side is 92 and the cool side is 80. I have two identical hides, one on the warm side and one on the cool side. I measure the temps with an accurite thermometer/hygrometer. The humidity is at 50%. I am heating the cage with a UTH. The top of the cage is covered with aluminum foil to help with humidity. I only handle the snake once a week or when I have to do spot cleaning or a complete cage cleaning. The substrate I am using is coco fiber. I do not have access to a camera right now or I would post a pic, sorry about that. I have a water bowl in the middle of the cage. I am seriously thinking about investing in a temp gun. I hope this information helps a little bit. I have some fake vines hanging in the cage to help clutter it a bit. I forgot to mention that I have two accurites, one on the warm side and one on the cool side. The probes are placed under the substrate. If I am doing something incorrectly please let me know. I want to do everything properly for my snake.
