Re: proper tank/snake managment
One thing for all to consider during the winter.
Forced air heat kills humidity fast.
We heat our herps with radiant heat, the whole house has radiant heat.
Radiant heat does not drive out moisture like forced air does.

Re: proper tank/snake managment
That is an excellent point Wayne. I typically run a humidifier in the room my snakes are in. (Formerly bedroom, now living room)

Re: proper tank/snake managment
Forced air is when you have a furnace in your house that blows warm air through the duct work and comes out those vents in your walls. A heat lamp would be considered radiant.

Re: proper tank/snake managment
Just before moving here our last place had a register that blew hot air all winter long just behind the snake cage.
it was a love/hate relationship.
My snake loved to sit right along the back edge of the cage, but her sheds sucked.
Overall humidity management in the winter is more important than in the summer.
The dew point changes drastically, so the humidity in the air all around you, inside or outside is all very dry air compared to summer when evaporation of water keeps the overall air more humid.
