Thanks for all the replies and good advice. My digital humidity and temp gauge is a exoterra. I placed the probe for the humidity at the bottom middle and towards the front on the glass. My one temp probe I placed underneath his hide on the hot side and the cool side probe is just in front of his other hide.

I just did a quick mist and placed a warm damp towel on top of the lid and I'll see if that helps any. I am going to re-soak him on friday to see if I can't loosen some of that skin, especially the patch on his head. I know if I had a dry patch of dead skin on the top of my head I wouldn't be too pleased.

I told my buddy at work that I got him and he wants to give me a two year old ball python he bought for his kids that they lost interest of. I really want to take it but I want to get used to taking care of one first for now.
