It's a little confusing the first time.

Second, your temps sound all right-except for the 103. Watch out for that-yikes! Keep working on the humidity…but I'm guessing the enclosure you have is the fabricky kind for like geckos and such? That's not going to help much with ball pythons. What works REALLY well are plastic storage tubs (sterilite, rubbermaid,iris, etc), if you want to save money-they retain heat and humidity with minimal effort.
Yes it was a full shed. I found it in the corner of his enclosure. it was all rolled up and i had to untwist it. It looked like he had been playing snake twister trying to get it off!

The humidity has gotten better since I have used some foil around cardboard and duct taped it to the screen mesh. Thanks for your input on the plastic tubs. But we are only going to have 1 snake and my daughter wanted something that she could see and display him in.
