I purchased my very first ball python, or any snake for that matter, last week. I'm having a heck of a time keeping my new baby's humidity level where it needs to be.
I have her in a 30x12x12 glass aquarium with a screened lid. I started out with Aspen substrate but given my humidity issues I switched to coconut husk as I heard it helps with the humidity. I have a squirt bottle that I fill with warm water to mist the enclosure and I have covered part of the screened lid, also to help with the humidity. I do have a 100 watt daylight lamp that I use to heat the enclosure. During the time I am home I keep misting the enclosure and can keep the humidity hovering between 50-60%. The problem is when I arrive home from work the humidity is around 30%. What can I do to help this? Would changing the daylight bulb to just a heat emitter help? Please help...I don't know what else to do!
