Current setup:
Things you can't see:
The heat lamp is a no-light ceramic model now. I chose a 60W bulb and I'm glad I did. The heat on the left was about 80F but on the right it's getting up to 97F inside the hide (where the probe, and the snake both are at the moment)
I just turned the lamp off to let that side cool off a bit.
Humidity is 48%. I just misted it for the second time and the whole cage is fresh from a bleaching, drying, and wiping down. I cleaned everything before putting it back inside.
There's a reptile carpet on the bottom too. The substrate is newspaper pellets and I hate them. Dusty, hard to remove, impossible to find urates. Is it really fine to just spread out newspaper on the bottom of the terrarium?
EDIT:
I also want to cover the back and sides as advised, just didn't have a chance to go to K-mart or meijer today. Considering plexiglass for the top.
