Hunidity................

How long is too long for the humidity to be over 70%??? I misted my lil boy as he is about to shed and must have misted a little too much. Don't want scalerot to set in. It has only been maybe 30 minutes. :confused:

There shoulb be no problem it wont get scale rot...it only gets scale rot if its a daily basis thing.....but humidity should be kept high only during shed....

Yeah I know that it should be higher during the shed process and I had him out earlier and seen his eyes were glazed over so I figured it was time to raise it up a little but went too much. Normally it is between 55-65%. Thanks the scalerot thing had me a bit worried.

Well it will start to look brown in their underscales and yeah they will move if a place is getting to hot...some cases they prefer to get burn because if they move the ambient temp is too low... the minimun should be at 80* the highest should be around 85*...does ur snake move alot?...what are you checking your temos with??

I meant temps...

They don't have much feeling in the ventral scales... they will burn. That's why you shouldn't let the hottest spot get much above 96*, preferably 90-94*

Well right now all I have is a digital therm and hygro in the tubs I am waiting on a new rack with heat tape built in with a thermostat and a temp gun. So my ambient temp is usually 80-81 degrees. I was just curios about the burn thing.
