Hey everyone,
I am struggling hard to keep humidity levels stable in my enclosure. I am using Ecoearth coconut fiber substrate and sphagnum moss that is spread through out and I mist from a spray bottle while I am home multiple times a day when humidity drops. I am assuming that my Ceramic Bulb is sucking out any moisture that might be in there. I recently switch water dishes since my old one was smaller and would become empty due to the bulb. But I would think that if the bulb is evaporating the water from the dish my humidity should be fine, but even with the larger dish it doesn't stay above 60%. I witnessed my first snakes shed yesterday, but found that it was a bad and stuck shed so I am trying to keep humidity in the 70's , but only lasts that high for 10 minutes if I'm lucky. I through some moist moss into one of her favorite hides so help with this, but I still don't feel comfortable going to work knowing the humidity is going drop to 40% by the time I come home. Please any help would be appreciated, I will try to add some photos of what I am working with and some more info on my husbandry. Thank You!
Husbandry Info:
I currently have my ball python in a pvc enclosure that is 36in w,18in l,18in h

I have a hot side using a UTH and a ceramic bulb (60w) to help with ambient temps (Both on thermostats).
