oh boy...

So I am going to the beach for the long weekend, and My brother is going to be taking care of Boo....and Shes gettin ready to shed.
Wish me Luck..er wish Boo luck..LOL
I have a glass tank with a screen top, and I always spray it whenever I can and it keeps the humidity right. I am gonna try the wet towel on top of the screen thing and hope that helps AND have him spritz her tank.
anyone know any other tricks to keep moisture for a long amount of time?
He is not home half the day and I am never gone for more than 6 hours at a time, So I am constantly checking her temps and humidity

Aluminum foil over the screen. When I used tanks I covered about 3/4ths of the screen with it. And dont use a lamp, they pull the moisture right out.

I have a 20g long w/ a screen top. I cover 3/4 of the screen w/ a mostly rung out dish towel. I replace it every 12hrs or so and my temps & humidity stay at

cool side - 81.7
warm side 93.4
humidity - between 55-59%

Boy I don't miss those days of constantly monitoring temps and humidity in a glass tank! Tubs are SOOOO much easier and less stressful (at least they are for me).

Good luck with Boo!

the towel seems to be doing the trick right now, I'll try the foil too. thanks!

hi,

you could also put a wet box in the tank, that would help keeping humidity for a longer time.

No kidding! I do not miss that at all!

Good luck, and have fun at the beach!

Ya a wet box would probably be a good idea, that way if the rest of the tank starts to dry out, the snake can chill in the wet box...

I put a piece of plastic over half is his cage and that worked great
