We use sterlite tubs so I'm no good at sorting out much about glass tanks, other than it does seem the mesh lids let out a lot of heat and humdity and overhead heat lamps also dry out the tank environment a lot.

I did just want to post though to commend you for taking this time now to set up the enclosure properly before purchasing your ball python. You are saving yourself all sorts of headaches and stress and helping to ensure your new snake will have the least stressful transition into your home. Good for you!

My only question is how are you measuring your temps and humidity? Digitally? Analog stick on thing?
