Re: Need some advice

That unfinished OSB is going to suck up humidity like crazy. It also won't react well to any water that gets under your foil layer. I would put the snake in a plastic tote until you get the wooden cage built and sealed properly. I also think you need to put a cage over your ceramic heat source. hope this helps.

I agree, and also ditch the CHE and heat lamps completely. All you need is the heat mat on a thermostat. Your ambient temp will be fine at 75f, or 23c. The CHE and heat lamps dry out the air like crazy.
