humidity?

ok so i am having a problem with the humidity i use a spray bottle 3-4 times a day and i use a hydrometer to check the level and it still is always at 20-25%

is there a better way and is it really needed to be higher because all my snakes are healthy anyway

Do you use a digital thermometer/hydrometer?

Yes humidity is has important as having proper temps.

Switch to a substrate holding humidity better (Cypress Mulch, Repti-Bark)
Spray your enclosure
Have a humid hide
Place and additional water dish on the warm side above the UTH
Partially cover the screen top of your enclosure if you have a glass tank

I'll bet you are using a glass tank and maybe a heat lamp. Dries em out every time. Switch to a tub with belly heat, you wil both be happier. :)

yes iam using glass with a heat lamp, so your saying i have to gid rid of all my heat lamps and change them for heat rocks?


what should the humidity level be at?

Not a heat rock, they are dangerous, provide belly heat with a heat mat or some flexwatt heat tape with a thermostat to maintain proper temps.

Humidity should be 50%-60%

I would aslo recommend this post on how to maintain a glass enclosure succesfully http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...ad.php?t=32800
