Humidity problem and sheding

Yes, but you will have to make sure you maintain proper photo periods for the snake if you do -- 9 to 12 hours a night and on all day. Alternatively you can use UV, infrared, or black light and leave it on as much as you want.

Soaking your snake in warm water for 30-45mins every 5 days is a good practice, shedding or not. I also don't think that a humidity level of 45 is bad at all when not in a shed, 75-80 is good while shedding. In the summer, I soak my snakes in Gatorade every 3-4 weeks just to make sure that they ain't dehydrated. These are my personal practices, I've had exceptional results with them but you may choose to go by the book.

But Gatorade is for gators!

LOL...that just shows how much you know about snakes.

Does it matter what flavor you use? What if you use the blue kind, is it gonna stain the snakes scales? :P

Oh yeah, and is there a certain flavor that has too much sugar or something in it that will give the snake an ill effect?

Thanks,

I know about electrolytes. I was just making a play on words.

No, it doesn't matter what flavor you use, they do stain the snake to an extend but it's harmless. If you don't want your snake stained or are worried about the sugar use PediaLyte.

Sorry, I didn't know you were joking.

Guess that'll teach me to forget the winking smiley, eh? ;)
