Hi



My bf and I just acquired a new female baby bloodred cornsnake (het for albino, but I don't care--I'm not planning to breed her). I think she's a 2008, she is very little.



We are used to boas and pythons. We know this baby has different heat and humidity needs, but we aren't sure what they are. Current set up is as follows: Apartment temp about 78 degrees with usual humidity in the low 20's. We are in Laurel, MD where the current daytime temps are in the 50s. Currently, the baby is in a shoebox ventilated tupperware, on papertowel substrate, with a water bowl and a hidebox. She is sitting on a chair next to a (closed)floor to ceiling window with mostly closed horizontal venetian blinds. We have heat tape, but we think that made them too warm, so it's presently (noonish) off.



Without the heat tape, is everything else ok? Should she be moved away from the window and further into the room?

Please let me know where a good FAQ is.



Thank you for your time,

Antigone
