As some of you may have read in my last post, I just moved my girl to a 41 quart bin, mostly because her old cage was at a constant 40% humidity, and she's in shed, so I was really panicking. But I really like the bin. Holds heat well, too.
Now there is a problem. When I first put her in, I sprayed the bin so it was up to 70%. BIG mistake!! It kept going up and up into the 80%s, and then my digital thermometer/hygrometer said "HI", meaning it is above 89%. I will clean it out soon to make sure there was no mold growth or anything, but is this in any way harmful to her? I air it out every few hours or so until its down to 75%, but it shoots back up when I close it. I have two breathing holes on each side. As soon as she finishes this shed, I'm going to drill two more holes on the long sides.
Can too much humidity be harmful while a snake is in shed? Seriously, its bad in there. The sides of the bin are all foggy.
And I will NOT get a dehumidifyer! It is 35% in my house right now, which is bad enough.
