High Humidity And Low Temperature

Hello I have a Anerythristic Corn Snake in a 3ft vivarium, the humidity is at 70 and the temperature is at 10C, I know that it needs to be a humidity of 40-50 a temperature of 30-40. The heat mat doesn't seem to be very warm and I don't quite know how to get the humidity up what do you suggest I do ? He seems healthy.

the heat pad could be - 1. Too small, 2. Defective, 3. not regulated properly.
You could try a different heat pad, make sure you have a reliable thermostat. Make sure you measure the temperature inside his hide box, and not just randomly in the cage somewhere. If possible, aim a Infrared Temperature Gun directly at the heat pad and see what it reads. Most of those pads unregulated can produce heat of around 115 degrees F, and that is why a thermostat should be used. Some pads get even hotter than that.

As far as the humidity, keep in mind the more a cage is enclosed, the higher the humidity will be. You could allow more air transfer throughout the cage and that will lower it a bit. On the other hand, if you live in an inherently humid area, you might not be able to do much about it. Make sure there is no spilled water or dampness inside the cage. Obviously, if you can get the heat up to where it should be, that will also help to lower the humidity a bit.

70% humidity is not bad once in a while. But it would be nice to have it around 35% to 50%.

A pic of your setup and gauges would be more helpful than a pic of your handsome snake

Where do you live that the temp is 10c/50f inside with 70% humidity?

Any chance you got them reversed ?
