    New Boa & Humidity
    Hey forums! This weekend I got a baby Nicaraguan Boa at an expo. She's very sweet and seems to be settling down well. I'm going to give her a week and then see if she'll eat before trying to handle her. Anyway, humidity is my concern. With what I have now, the sphagnum moss and econearth are working great, when I'm home to spray her cage every so often. But when the week starts, I'll be at school and won't be able to most her cage as often. From what I observed from monitoring her cage before I got her (always try to be prepared lol) the lowest the humidity usually gets is 40% which I know is below the recommended range for a boa. So, I've been wondering what I can do and from what I've read, these are some options I can do:
    1. putting in a humid hide that she can go in whenever she feels she needs a boost
    -Will she know when to boost her humidity?
    2. hooking up a humidifier to her cage and routing the mist
    -from what I've observed doing this with other things, this really seems to kill temperatures

    Any ideas or opinions on this matter would be great! Thanks :gj:
