    Right at this moment the humidity outside is 65%, and it looks like the tanks settled at 48 and 52, its aspen, but i moved the aspen around the accurites, bc i thought it might be messing up the readings on humidity

    If you have ball pythons I would ditch the aspen and use a substrate that holds humidity better. This is what I use and it works great. Maybe that will help you hold humidity better.

    Well, to increase humidity i just have to put the damp towel on the lid, i had my first perfect shed like that before i had the accurites, but i must say, that substrate does look nice. Apparently my hunidity has settled in 47 and 50, so lets say its between 45 and 50, should i aim for 57 and 60? Due to the fact that they are 3-4 degrees off each other

    57-60 would be perfect for your ball pythons. The damp towel trick always worked for me too when I was having troubles. Some people also add a larger water bowl. Not too big tho. Just enough to help boost humidity. You can also add a moist hide or a Tupperware bowl filled with moss that your snake to climb in. I usually mist my BP twice a day just to keep humidity up.

    Now its 46 and 49. Im washing the towels i use for them, but as soon as theyre out, i will put them on just like i used to, and move them until i reach the level i want (57 and 60) and of course, for shedding it will be 67-70

    as long as they have enough room to breathe, you should be good haha. Screen tops are notorious for being pesky to keep humidity in.
