YEs the only immediate health problems that I know of(experienced or heard of) from to high a humidity is belly or scale rot. This is easily remedied by taking the animal out of the moist environment and keeping it dryer for a while. It usually clears up quickly. An cage that is two humid is generally more uncomfortable to the keeper. The smells are intensified and the bedding tends to sour much much faster. Todd

I used to keep large snakes almost exclusively and as anyone that has kept Burmese Pythons for any amount of time it is well known that they are extremely susceptible to RI's. I use to spend a lot of time on the forums over there and thi stopic always came up and after discussing this information with many well experienced keepers this was the information that was passed on. I do not want to guide you in the wrong direction but I am pretty sure that Rob Carmichael as well as Happy Hillbilly (his KS username) will tell you the same thing. The cracking of the lungs is why it is suggested to raise the temps a bit when a RI is suscpected. To help keep the lungs moist and to help promote the healing of them. Hope this explains my original response a bit. Todd
Thanks, I'm familiar with both posters - I'll check it out.
