And don't drive your self crazy man..this is my first snake..keep ya hotside an avg of 88-90 and humidity between 50-70 and u will be fine... That's what I do and my snake is eating and shedding and pooping and peeing and sleeping and hiding and exploring..also to help with humidity keep a wet damp rag on the top of the tank...mist the tank with a water bottle to keep humidity up..its really not hard to maintain and take care of them...
