Hello,

I am a new ETB owner and am having a bit of trouble regulating the temperature and humidity in the cage. I have 2 babies, a male and a female, and they seem to be doing alright but I know that my temp and humidity are not in the appropriate ranges. As a caring and responsible snake owner, I would greatly appreciate any insight and advice. I have a humidifier that I turn on for about an hour in the morning and again in the evening but when I get home from work around 5pm the humidity is at 60%, which I know is too low. Would it be better to have this system on a timer so that it mists at regular intervals during the day? The temp usually hovers around 80-90 degrees...is this acceptable or should I have the heat lamp on a timer as well? I just want my babies to be comfortable so any help would be fantastic. Thank you!!!
