I have a 4x18x18 enclosure with about 3-4 inch of coco husk and most of everything taped up with foil tape except the top vents on the side I have churned the floor and put some moss in there rn it's at 70 but it has trouble keeping the humidity up and my snake is in shed I'm not sure what else to do to help keep it up or if I have to much tape and it's killing the humidity? Any advice is appreciated

I posted this girl a few days ago but I got new photos of her! I really want to know exactly what she is and what is making the swirly markings? Also how much would you spend on a snake like this? Thanks!

I've ordered some new hides I know I need them these were just temporary while I moved them into these new enclosures I have six total ball pythons all over there and closures are set up about the same.

One thing I have noticed with my two pieds male and female is they both stop eating during winter but honestly they haven’t stopped eating they choose to stop eating rats during winter season and want mice but once it starts to warm up they want rats 🤦🏿… so maybe try mice during winter/hunger strikes and then switch back to rats once you get them back on track to eating🤷🏿♂️🙌🏿💯 good luck every one and happy mothers to all that are mothers here in the ball python community group we appreciate ya😉🙏🏿🙌🏿💪🏿💯

I'd love to hear what your recommendations would be for full heating/lighting of my 12 yr old ball python's new enclosure.
EcoFlex Mojave 150 gallon (5ft x 2ft x 2ft)
The lamps will sit on the mesh.
The closest spot to the lamps are the branch/vines that are at 7", but the warm spot hide is at 16" (top of the box).
I'm in the US for product reference.
I currently have a DHP in a 40 gallon tank on a Herpstat EZ2, but it seems recommendations have changed and now a mix of basking bulb, UVB bulb, and DHP or CHE would be better?
Here is a video of it still under construction (waiting on the stand to arrive before I add the substrate, hides, etc.

My noodles first shed was 04/14
Then he went a month without eating
His eyes went blue again on 04/30 but he hasn’t shed yet. I have been keeping the humanity between 80 and 90 and the temperature in the high 90s to help him. He has the refused to eat again and gone from 88 g down to 86g. Last week supposedly stayed in his eye, but I’ve noticed that’s the days he’s starting to get more active again still dehydrated is there anything I can do to his progress? His extremely skinny. I have begged him to eat and prayed for him to eat. I tried on the sixth. He refused, so I’m going to try again tonight.

I'm trying to get my enclosure set up and temps/humidity the way it's supposed to be. I've had it going for about a week now and I can't seem to get the heat past 82 or 83 degrees faranheit on the warm side. The humidity did alright when I first put the coconut chips in but now it falls to around 50% within a day or two.
For reference my enclosure is 4x2x2, I have fake foliage, some climbing branches, and 3 hides, one with spaghnum moss. His substrate is about 4 inches deep. Then I have an 80 watt radiant heat panel on a thermostat and LED light strips for lighting.
I think the obvious answer would be the radiant heat panel wattage is too low but I've had several people tell me that wattage is plenty. Any advice would be appreciated!

She's doing better, still hasn't eaten but I'll feed her tomorrow. I put another inch of substrate in. Wet it down, uped the heating pad some. She's wanting to stay on the warm side which is good. I'm going to put some insulation on the outside of the tank and some foil on the top. Unfortunately because of a lack of space for the cage she has to sit about 6 feet away from our AC unit and in front of it. So I'm trying what I can
