Thanks for all the replies!

Mike, I went ahead and got those temp/humidity guages along with the humidity pack. I definitely have heard of it but never knew which ones to get, so thanks so much! I figure having more thermometers and humidity gauges is better than less so the more the merrier. I'll be sure to be uber cautious with their placement if I happen to use the tape to avoid injury to the snake and will constantly check on it.

And thank you so much for the kind words David, I definitely will do everything I can. I've heard about the humidity problems that glass enclosures face so I'm prepared to take the extra steps like covering some of the top. I might even go get a plexiglass cover made, but that might be in the future. I'll be sure to update once I set everything up when I know for sure when I'm getting a snake so I can spend a full week testing the enclosure just as you advise.
