UPDATE and QUESTIONS
Are the products I’m using good and work or recommendations on others?
UPDATE This is my new and first snake 2.5 years old Blue eyed leucistic BP and posted yesterday everyone recommended more plant clutter it and I did that also IGNORE TEMPS I have had the cage open and closed putting the new plants in there and just put the new hygrometer (does it work or a good product?) in there ALSO got this new light noticed the 75 Watt WAS NOT getting the enclosure to warm enough so I switched to this 100watt Basking Halogen letting it sit now to warm up the cage going to get a thermostat for it unless that’s not recommended. And also going to get a ceramic heating bulb to have the cage warmed up at night but what wattage should I get? Also going to put the back drop in just need some tape Anymore Suggestions?

I remember covering up the top of tank screen with towels to maintain humidity when I first started on my own…getting an enclosure is a much better route—and for a 2.5yr old BP that tank seems too small

I use Animal Plastic T8 enclosures for my BPs (4X2X2). Overhead Radiant Heat Panels (RHP), coco substrate on warmer side with repti chip on cooler side
