Humidity

I also use a glass tank. I also have had serious issues with keeping humidity up. I was resorting to spraying the take daily just to keep the humidity above %40. I added foil to the top 9/10 of the lid and that helped, but i was still having to spry things down every couple days to get the humidity up.
I tried putting some sphagnum moss in the tank and it has helped tremendously. I rarely have to do much to maintain the humidity at 55-65%. I also tossed a small (loose ping-pong ball sized) hunk into his hide.
I have never had a problem shedding. (3 one piece sheds :gj: )

He seems to be happy with it. :D

You could buy a dimmer for the lamp, so you aren't running it on full blast, which will help keep that moisture for longer.

I am running a dimmer, but even between the UTH and the light (dimmer on both), I am having a hard time keeping the balance between humidity and temps.. Im getting there though, the more I play around with it the closer I get to ideal. I am using paper towel as my substrate, just because I feel like it will be the most sanitary and easiest to clean, but im willing to eventually change.. I put a wet towel over about .5 of the enclosure and that seems to be helping. I also put a humid hide in there, but she hasnt shown much interest so far..

Paper towel aside from feeding issues, is hydroscopic and will draw moisture out of the air. it isn't helping at all. Plain paper would be better if you want the same properties it also doesn't have feeding issues either. Paper towel on rare occasions when fed upon it can stick to any wet bits on the rodent and be ingested with the rodent causing impaction and digestion issues, unless you are feeding in a separate enclosure. The particulate substrates will hold humidity better but each is a balancing act against heat as you add a higher moisture content it takes more power to heat. Heat over humidity, heat is critical humidity is not critical low humidity (30-50%) can cause bad sheds low heat your snake cannot digest food and will starve or have digestion issues which can be life threatening. Poor sheds are just poor sheds.

I like coco coir products, it is small particles and cannot get lodged in the mouth as wood chips do sometimes.
