Hey Everybody,how's everyone doing?

as usual I thank everyone from the forum who's helped me in past problems and i give a quick update on my ball (Roxanne), (some may find this annoying but being a first time snake owner, i take alot of pride in my girl)

Her mouth rot has really cleared up and yesterday she ate her first hopper mouse (a frozen one) I recorded a video, if you guys want i'll post it

also I've stopped applying the mineral oil because the caps fell off (i forgot to explain in my last thread that she had retained caps,thats why i was using it)

and 2 threads ago I explained about the size of her tank (its a 75 gallon) but now with four hides (small "huggable" hides) and a hot side of 90 and a cool side of 85. through use of a water dish,constant misting, and a large sea sponge, I've been able to keep the humidity at about 55-60 but seeing as she's to shed soon I'm trying to get it up to 75 and despite constant misting,re-soaking the sponge and putting new water in the bowl i cant get it up past 60-65...

so i read online through other humidity questions and i read about this stuff called perlite...

so i googled perlite and found this site

http://www.perlite.net/

now i have class in about 10 minutes (college student) so i only paged over the site but it says its a volcanic rock substrate that has a pH of 7 (same as water, so its neutral) and supposedly works as a decent hydroponic

so i was thinking,next time i clean Roxy's cage I do this

layer of perlite
layer of wet paper towl
then a cocohusk substrate which i mist
then the water bowl
(also forgot to mention) 2/3 of mesh cage top is tinfoiled/wrapped

and should the humidity still not rise i will add the sponge...

so I guess my question forum is:

have you ever used perilite/ recommend it?

thanks again, Tiny
