I had just misted the tank. The tank was only at 40% humidity and I am pretty sure my snake is starting to shed (the pet store said they thought he was and he is starting to have dry spots on his head (at least that is what I think they are will post a pic at bottom).

The screen top is covered with aluminum foil at the top except where the lamp is. I tried putting a towel over the tank top and sides a couple days ago, but it didn't seem to matter.

Where do you get a temp gun? I haven't found one at any of the pet shop places (even big box stores)...I probably can't afford it this week...I have spent a ton getting this all set up so far so I have to wait until I get paid again.

Do you think I should remove the sand now? I am worried about stressing the snake too much, I only got him last Saturday.
