    what store was this? most pet stores have no clue what they are talking about.

    The substrate needs to be absorbent and promote humidity as well as cleanliness. leaves do none of that.

    The thermometer and heating issues are far more important though.

    Also the hide is on the large side for your snake (they should be a tight fit to make the snake feel more secure)

    o: ok, about the heating, I live in Mexico Cancun, the temp is ideal even though has no basking spot, (also a thing that in the store told me that wasn't too necessary with this climate)

    And about the thermometer I'll change it asap.

    That simply is not true, the cool side needs to be between 78 and 82 degrees, but the hot side must be between 88 and 92 degrees 24/7,365. there is no way your enclosure is that hot, and if it is then the cool side is too hot.

    It should be obvious now that the store gave you terrible information

    Ok, thank you very much I'll check the heating issue as soon as possible, and won't trust stores ever.
