Seriously Wondering if I am Cursed

For humidity I had a fancy little gauge-- not the normal analogue ones that stick to walls-- that I put smack in the middle of the cage against the small climbing logs/rocks I had in the cages for enrichment. It both read the ambient temps, AND gave humidity. I made sure I got it dialed in first to the normal temps in the room before putting it in there.

EDIT: Cleaning products cause I forgot that part. X'D I used "Kaytee Clean Cage Habitat Deodorizer Spray" because of the reviews and gentle ingredients for spot cleans and simple clean-ups. For full cage cleans I used my family's usual wipes, our watered down cleaning spray, and then rinsed it before letting it dry completely. (I was scared of the chemicals.)

If everything is fine then I am unsure. I would consider not using chemicals and just wiping everything out. Hmmm. Could be back luck with rosy boas?

I really don't know. It seriously stumps me, but if the possibility that it was chemicals floats around, I may just try and find a solution that involves none. Like some kind of carefully practiced mixture of like, vinegar and water or something. I am terrified.

There is also the fact that my family as a whole has just had...Terrible luck with reptiles.
In the beginning though I do admit it was mostly due to us having WAY too much faith in the store we got the animals from, and the info they told us. (Shame on us. X'D We were newbs, but I can't not cringe thinking back on it now.)
Hence the insane amount of research I did prior to all my noodles.

The rosy boas could be a possibility? I bought both of them from breeders that didn't have any red flags, bad reviews, etc. But still. That is one reason I am going to try with a different species. But it being a dream snake of mine is just terrifying. It will crush me even more-so than the other deaths had if I loose that baby. X'3
