I would say replace them with something that will keep it dark, and lower to the gorund, or cut those in half and cover up the holes with something. Replacing them will be easier and more effective. Go to a dollar store and buy a shallow plastic bin that blocks the light well. Then cut a hole in one edge to maximize the dark area inside.
    I think that should help.
    Oh, and your humidity might be higher if your water dish is over the heater at all. Just slide it to the cold side if that is the case and see if that changes things.
    Good choice with a ball.
    Iv done all that. Them were old pics before we got the snake. They have been lowered to 3" tall and the tops are covered with the part that originally came on it.

    Didnt think about taking a new pic since that was the only one diff. Also the water is moved to the cool side

    69% humidity on the hot side and 63% on the cool side

    flukers is on the hot side and acu rite is on the cool side (probe over uth tho)

    The only time i have opened it was just to take a peak at the temps to make sure they are ok. But thats just cracking the lid

    I should put more holes in the side to lower humidity right?

    Hes still under that same log He seems to like that spot lol. But then again it is really right fit and only his body hangs out his head is somewhere in the log god only knows he hides it from me
