Thanks again for all the help guys! its like i have my own personal snake experts at my finger tips! I know a decent amount about snakes but this little girl has a lot more requirements than most, but im absolutely loving it! The infrared is working great. warm side is about 88-89 and the cool side stays shaded 24/7 and about 77-78. humidity stays between 65%-70% depending how long ago i misted the tank. sorry if i have sounded more like a mother of a new born baby than a snake owner but her health and well being is way more important than my pride and ego.
