wicked happy

yeah dude you won't regret it. it takes all the guess work out of caring for your animal. the digital thermometer/hydrometers are in the lawn & garden section at walmart. $10-$13 or so.

and btw, congrats on your first shed. boost the humidity up and it should go well. post some pics after the shed!

And if you do'nt find it in lawn & garden...check the hardware area. Should be in one of those two places. ;)

Grab up a digi thermometer like others have mentioned and happy shedding! ;)

Mine was in lighting near the timers and fan stuff.


As for what people told you, a water bowl is an important part of maintaining the humidity, but that is not always all that is needed. When my snakes go into blue, I like to keep my humidity levels at no less than 75%. They need the moisture in the air to loosen their skin up enough to get out of it. If there is not enough humidity prepare for the snake to shed in bunches of little pieces.

alright and how do i adjust this humidity level once i have the stuff i need

Have a spray bottle handy filled with water. You can mist the inside of the enclosure and also you can put a bigger water dish in there. What type of enclosure do you have and what do you use for substrate??

im getting a humidity gauge for free from my buddy and i have a 20 gallon tank and paper towl on the bottom

I actually found mine by accident. I was looking for nightlights and bulbs, and they had it right there with the nightlights
