    humid tanks; it can be done!
    I know that it's often said that is' hard to keep humidity in a tank during shed time; I myself used to have a tough time until I got this foodservice-grade plastic wrap! It is awesome stuff; clings right onto itself where you want it, makes a nice tight seal. I lift it every morning and evening to give some fresh air to the snake, and spray a little bit with water from a spritzer. Pics...

    whoa, now thats humid. sometimes when my snakes go on there warm sides, or i mist the tub the moisture evaporates into the air and condensates on the front of the tub.

    looks like you've got the whole aquarium thing down:colbert2: :rockon:

    Of course it "CAN" be done ... but it's soooo much easier in plastic tubs. :sweeet:

    Whoa. That looks a bit overdone. :O Wouldn't it be easier to poke a few hole in the wrap? Leave the corners open? It might reduce the amount of lifting and ventilating you have to do manually.

    I actually have a gap in the front, on the left; you can see the lost humidity in the lower corner :)
    Until my man gets a spare moment (which should be no time soon, lol) I have to make-do with tanks, as there's no one else to help me build a rack. And someone would definately get hurt if I tried to use the nail gun and table saw myself! (that person being me...)

    Sure it can be done. I had a problem with high humidity when I dumped coconut husk in.

    I use that for my horned frog; I like it because it holds humidity well but doesn't get all soppy, if you mix it just right. for my BPs I am using newspaper with paper towel over it; seems to work good with the plastic over the lid :)

    You can also have a wood lid on top with just enough ventilation to allow for a humidity build up.
