Greetings

Thank you. I have moved her further into the room. I also did some looking around on the internet at various sites. I'm a bit confused.
I could have sworn that the person we bought her from said that if the apartment was at least 70 (and we had a dip in temp recently when winter came back), which it is, that corn snakes don't need a heat source and don't need extra humidity. On the pages I pulled, they need 75-80 degrees, plus a basking temp of 85, and somewhere around 60% humidity (which would definitely mean spraying). The conditions described in the sites I looked at were much more similar to our boas than I had originally been led to believe. What's the right answer on this?

I put her house half on the tape, half not, so she has a bit of an option. And I think the heat tape was up to 82 yesterday, but slightly less last night.
