Thank you all for your tips and advice! I found out that cypress is the most ideal thing if you arent going to use paper products. He was a bit underfed, and im going to put him back on a regular diet, i feel like overfeeding can only lead to problems. i was mistaken about the log, he has a nice snug hiding rock and a medium size water bowl/basking pool. Im going to get some new heat bulbs for him in the morning, along with some fresh food and other supplies. If theres anything in particular that i should have on hand id like to pick that up as well. The people at my local pet shop (locally owned of course) were very helpful. They also said that astro turf and carpet were a bad idea. If i should keep him in the 30 gallon tank then ill keep him there, i just wanted him to have room to grow since hes a bit of a runt right now. Like i said im new to snake ownership and i really do appreciate the advice. I am curious though as to how to keep the humidity levels right without a waterfall or something expensive. I suppose misting a few times a day will suffice? Thank you all,
Zack.
