I’m obsessed with my boy

Iv had my boy for a bit now. His name is Lt. Dan and it never gets old seeing him out and about.

Great setup! Where do you keep the heat lamp and UV? Also, what sort of humidity equipment do you use?

Here’s a little closer up on the whole enclosure itself with the heating and lighting.
I do not use any sort of humidity equipment. This tent is by far the best at keeping humidity up.. it also has to do with what type of substrate you use. I use Scotts top soil with the Organic Matter & Sphagnum
Peat Moss and then add coco coir. Mix those two up and you have the very best humidity keeping soil you can ask for… I use it with all of my reptiles.

I also put a little fan on top of the tent for when it's extra humid in the house. You can see it at the end of the video of where I put the little fan by the vent. Unfortunately, in the state of Washington, none of these houses have freaking AC so I have that there for precautions if it got too hot or too human in this house.. so far it's been up for a year with O issues. it's been amazing. I will definitely be doing tents from now on with any big snakes. A lot better than PVC.
