Hi,

To be honest the first thing that jumps out at me is you need a better way of reading temps and humidity - those round efforts are well known for being innacurate.

Try and find the acurite weatherstation (with probe) at wallmart or lowes or home depot - I think they run about $12-$14. Temp guns are great tools too for instant readings just to spot check things.

It gets a lot easier to tweak the environment once you have a reliable way of measuring the targets.

I couldn't see the saran wrap (but that's no big surprise given its transparency and my eyesight ) but have you covered the whole mesh lid apart from under the dome of the light?

We prefer to use tinfoil taped down on the outside of the mesh as it can stand up to the heat of the lamp better - plus blind scottish mods can see it easier.

With the acurite the base unit reads temp and humidity and the probe reads temp so you can move the base unit around to get a general idea of humidity and ambient temps and use the probe to get specific temps in the snakes hides.

We generally recommend two identical dark snug hides - one on the cool side and one on the warm. This lets the snake decide what temp it wishes to be without having to worry about which hide it prefers. In your pics I would replace the half log with the same type you have on the other side as half logs aren't really the best hides for them.

If this was asked before forgive me but what are you using to control the heat sources? I can see the heat lamp but do you also have an under tank heater?
