    Re: Major humidity problems

    And one more thing. Heat lamps dry out the enclosure and cause low humidity, since you live in a very dry area already I highly encourage you to buy a under tank heat pad instead and a thermostat or rheostat to control the heat. Ball pythons do not bask and need belly heat, it is much better for them.

    They have heat pads too, right now they need both to keep their tank warm enough. Will the thermostat actually make the heat pad warmer so it will be enough?

    Also, don't try and heat the air with the uth. Keep the heat lamp and try what I mentioned above. It works for me using a 40 g glass tank.
