Heating And Humidity Issues

[gay]

I've read hundreds of posts here, lots of stickies and I started out thinking the quarantine process was stressed mainly for breeders with big collections they wanted to protect but now I think of it more as a process for every snake. keep the enclosure simple for starters, makes dealing with anything that might come up much easier!

two identical hides, one that is about 80 and one that is about 90 is enough for now. I'd find another source of heat to make sure the ambient temp is above 75 throughout. a second UTH or flexwat should help, at least below the cool side hide.

Thanks. I'm picking up another RH tomorrow, as well as a temp gun and a bark substrate. (Is it sanitary to wash and reuse that, btw? Someone mentioned you could be soaking it in very hot water and then allowing it to dry in the sun but... I'm not sure.) Are you sure two hides will be enough for her? I read that a ball python can become stressed if provided with a too large enclosure and not enough places to hide, especially a snake as young as this one.
