Humidity..you said you have a petsmart? Look for sphagnum moss. Comes in a box. Get some "miniature solo cups" and stick some moss in one or two (depending on your setup) and wet the moss. Should help up the humidity.

We have a 55gallon tank and I used 4 of the little cups and tin foiled the top of the screen. Went from 40 percent to 55-65 percent and stayed there.

As someone else suggested, you may just have a super curious snake. Ours made laps around his cage for the first 6 months.





Yes the UTH is on a thermostat, it is set at 88. I got some moss and did as suggested and it raises it for a bit then drops drastically. I keep a warm moist towel over half the screen. I have increased the size of his water dish. I have misted, but I feel that I am misting to much. I live in a cooler climate with very low humidity. Would adding a humidifier to my room help increase the humidity in his tank. He is in shed as we speak and I have started stressing myself out over this humidity issue.
