wow thanks a lot for the help guys. I really appreciate all this.

I will remove the plastic wrap from the tank cover and probably end up placing a moist towel on half of the cover as you said and see how that works out. Also, I moved the 50 watt red bulb from the hot side of the tank to more in the middle so that it reduces the heat from all one side and will most likely increase the ambient air temperature throughout the tank instead of just the hot side.

I just went to the petland by my house and purchased a few small mice. They look the perfect size for my snake. I plan on feeding it once every 5 days until it gets a little bigger then switching to once every 7 days and using a little larger mouse. Since I have to buy a few mice at a time, what would be good to feed the mice? I have them in small plastic critter cage and I used carefresh as their bedding. The lady at petland told me that using hamster food will be good for keeping them healthy. Is hamster food good to feed my mice i plan on feeding to my snake?

I also purchased a zoo med brand digital thermometer with a probe. I placed the probe right above where my heat pad is located, but I made sure I usedf a thin layer os substrate to cover the probe so that it could get a good reading. It reads anywhere from 87-92 degrees inside of his tree hide on top of the heat pad. Is this a perfect temperature so that my snake can feel comfortable or will this be too hot and cause burns?
