Will 62-65% humidity

Effect my ball python if that's the ambient level?? Do i need to drop it??

Well I think it should be fine but not to sure. I know all the care sheets say 50-60 but not sure if 63-65 will cause harm. I'm sure peolple here will let u know

wow that's wierd that we both have 19 on our user names..??..

It's fine. I've seen them due fine with up close to 70% humidity. 62-65% is ok, and won't do any harm, plus humidity can fluxuate a bit. A lot of caresheets recommend in the 50's though.

I wouldnt mess with it. 65 is a happy median since you're going to want to bump it to 70-75 for shedding anyway. This way you wont have to do anything come shed time, or at least that's what my experience has been. I keep mine at 62-65 and my BP's are doing great if I say so myself.

I second that, I keep mine at 65%, and haven't had one issue, and perfect sheds every time.

How do you get the humidity up to 65%? I can only get to about 45% right now.. and at the moment my 2 month old ball python is shedding in little pieces

Do you have tubs or a tank?

i have a glass tank.

I would recommend a Sterilite tub with holes burned in the sides of it. Also, try putting the water bowl on top of the heat mat.

P.S. :welcome: to Bp.net!

I use a tank. One thing you can do is make sure its the proper size. Also, the aluminum foil treatment for the tops works well. I don't use lamps unless it gets really chilly in the house (only once or twice so far when its rainy since we don't used the AC/Heat). Also, I used foamboard on all three sides. The humidity stays at 60-65% in both tanks.
