Major humidity problems

[LittleVixen]

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?

Try this, it has been working great for me. Get a warm mist humidifier(one that boils the water). Put it next to your tank and funnel all the steam over to the top. I use aluminum foil for this. So far I've been able to keep the humidity stable at 50-60 in this dry winter air.

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.

For me I've never had to mess with the humidity, I've just left a big enough water bowl for them to soak in when they need it, I've kept like that for years (20-30% humidity) without any health or shedding issues.
