    Going on vaction...humidity?
    I have to spray my tank at least twice a day to keep my humidity at 50-60%. I am going on vacation for 3-4 days though. Does anyone have any suggestions to keep the humidity up while I am gone?

    They should be okay for that period of time. It might help if you provide a bowl large enough to soak in if they go into shed during that time. You can also place a wet paper towel or wash cloth in a bowl which would bump the humidity, but I don't think it's necessary. ;)

    It's pretty easy to set up an enclosure that will maintain 60% humidity without ever having to mist. Twice a day @ a couple of minutes equals about 24 hours a year you spend misting one snake. Just something to think about.

    Maybe...but...
    I have a heat light. I need the heat light. The weather in Wisconsin is changing every 5 minutes, especially this time of year.

    waltah!

    If it's just one snake you could always set up a tub for it. You shouldn't have to worry about the humidity. Just need a uth and thermostat to control it.
    I wouldn't worry about it though if it's only for a few days.
