My base room humidity is at around 65 ish. I offer humid hides to all my snakes. Winters in WI are hellish. My base temps are 80-82. Terry Phillip has told me repeatedly it is hard to go wrong with temps at that level.

My base humidity is similar to Cindy's around 60-65% and I also use humid hides. I'm in Illinois and winters are only slightly less hellish that Wisconsin's.

I have to keep my base room temps a little lower as I have some cooler and montane species like my pyros and northern pines. For those that need the warmer temps I have UTHs and or heat lamps. The heat lamps are for my arboreals so they can perch and be warm or go to their hides and be warm. They also have cool zones.

cool. thank you both for the input

This comment is in no way a detractor, that's a great looking snake... but that is almost certainly an Irian Jaya carpet.

Hi Bryan, wild bill stated in his second post that it's a IJ and doesn't know how he posted that pic.
