51-50, I don't think your snake is in dire danger or anything, but to not measure humidity is an indicator that you may have a few husbandry issues. I'm not saying your doing anything wrong, your temps sound fine, but there sounds to be a few things that may need some tweaking with your enclosure. I'm not trying to insult you in anyway, I'm just trying to give you some positive criticism which you can choose to ignore or listen to.

Other than the need to measure your humidity, dial thermometers have been proven by myself and countless others in the herping community to be VERY inaccurate. Some will measure close to actual temps, but they can easily stick and stop measuring temps all together or be thrown off by as much as 10 degrees.

Another question I have is do you use a UTH? If you do, it is almost impossible to read the temps on the surface of the glass with a dial, which is why the thermometer/hygrometer digital combo's are recommended as many of them have a probe you can use to measure surface temps with.

I am still being offered advice on a regular basis, and I am happy to receive it. I hope you feel this way as well.
your right i should get something to measure my humidity and a digital thermometer.. even tho ive never had any problems it would just be nicer to make sure.. especially since its beginning to get hotter now
