Bamboo Ratsnakes Humidity

I've been looking into various different types of colubrids (Mostly ratsnakes, I love all of them lol) for a long time, just gathering as much information about their different care and deciding which kinds would be good for me. One I am looking into currently is the Thai Bamboo Ratsnake. There isn't a whole lot of information on them but for the most part I am able to get a good idea about the majority of their care.

The one big question I have though is what humidity to shoot for. I do know they do require higher humidity but I was wondering around what percentage to go for. Like I said everything I've read just says higher humidity but that could mean a few things lol.

So can any Bamboo Ratsnake owners tell me about what humidity you keep your enclosures at and any other tips you have would be cool as well :P

Thanks in advance!

i just got my lil guy last week: https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...mboo-Ratsnake) :) so it's just the trial run for us still and i'm sure he's still acclimating. that said, i use coco fiber substrate and keep humidity around 70. they like low temps and high humidity and i've read misting to bump up humidity even more (to 80%-plus) for a few hours day helps.

Edit: BTW is that a Bamboo Rat wrapped around your Blue Wolf avatar?

Thank you! I did see your thread, he's gorgeous! I did hear that they like the lower temps but that is very helpful!

Also yes it is lol. I had started my research on the Bamboo Rats around the time I was drawing it and I thought the bright orange/red would go really well with the grey/blue

As soon as he / she disappears for the shed time .... simply spray a fee times each day until it sheds it's skin ( perfectly ). [emoji4]



How are your Bamboos going on in the 'feisty' department ?!

Here's mine and a photo of my chain mail protection for when I change his water :)
