Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

you say the tank is humid...are you seeing water on the glass sides and is it running downward? Have you tried placing the snake in the water dish? Mine aren't happy when I do this, but most of the time they will drink some water when they realize its presence.

i put the snake in its water dish and he drank water, so at least he's drinking water. today is supposed to be its feeding day but maybe i should wait until it defecates? i have also heard placing the snake in a tub of warm water might induce it to defecate, has anyone heard of this??

I've NEVER had a GTP drink out of a water dish. I provide one, but I always saw them drink off leaves and their coils when I sprayed them.
They also do well on a slower feeding schedule. They can and will prolapse very quickly if you are over feeding and not keeping adequate humidity. A 2.5-3 week feeding schedule is ideal in my opinion.
Most snakes, when placed in warm water, can and will defecate. That said, I wouldn't really suggest it. The snake should be having bowel movements so long as the humidity is accurate.

I offer ambient temp ranges and it seems to work fine.
I also prefer to use mechanical thermometers over digital in these types of high humidity/low temps situations.

Yup. I keep mine at room temperature and only use heat in the winter. They do great at "room temperature". I wouldn't even go over mid 80's for temperatures for Green trees.

No problem! I live in north/central Florida so in the summer time I keep the snake room window open and it's perfect during the day/night. In the 80's during the day, nice and humid, and 70's at night with humidity as well. It'll be perfect in south Florida
Good luck!

If your room temps are around 80 degrees you shouldn't really need to have a heater on the cage. I put small heat pads underneath the tanks with a thermostat probe attached and set the thermostat at 85 degrees. I use the same tanks you use and this works great for me. Also with the Exoterra tanks you have to cover part of the top to help with humidity.
