thanks for the advice
The light is a zoo med basking spot lamp that i turn off over night and the temperature drops to about 75 (based on what i have read in a book i bought,i thought this is what i wanted to do) with getting a red bulb should i place that on the other side of the tank? i had the current bulb over the water dish thinking that would keep the humidity higher around 60% . Also if i eliminate this bulb what should/can i use for lighting. i was under the impression i only wanted to light 1/3 to 1/4 of the tank is this correct?
The substrate is zoo med eco earth compressed coconut expandable... it sat in the aquarium for a few days before i introduced the snake and it felt dry to the touch but i believe now that having lighter spots it is still damp. I originally had care-free something as the substrate and i believe that is where the mites came from it was returned and i bought the eco earth
The provent-a-mite is not legal in NY i tried purchasing it and got an email saying it can't be purchased in NY b/c of the DEC
I will go purchase a couple of smaller hide spots and remove the large one today along with getting a red bulb any recommendations on the bulb?
thanks again for the replies and off to the husbandry forums
