Thank you Evillost those sites are great!! I had thought my knowledge of bp's was on the high side but the more i read everywhere the more i see that random people and pet stores dont really know much about there pets (an opinion ive had for a bit now lol). Having read some of the stickeys around the site ive learned that my snake barely needs his light, that im going to get a rheostat asap (tomorow afternoon) and that im going to use the tin foil screen lid idea to try and help with the temp and humidity for now (i can never seem to have both just a messed up mix) and hope that that combined with the lamp stand im making and the repti shed ive been using will help to stabalize his evironment and him to shed his retained caps. Until i can come up with the full plans and funds for his new viv!! thanks again to all of you
