First off welcome to the Forum. You couldn't have made a better choice in snake; BP's are the best!

Second, check this out for setting up and tweeking your glass tank set-up:

This info will tell you how to do it right the first time...wish I'd read it before I set mine up.

Third, don't be suprised if you switch from a glass tank to an RBI or AP cage set up in the near future...trying to hold humidity in a glass tank is harder than chinese arithmatic...especially where you live!

Again, welcome and good luck.
