    It is nearly impossible to keep humidity at one exact percentage. As long as it doesnt drop too low for an extended period its fine. I have racks and I still have a problem with it. The big racks with the biggest tubs always need to be sprayed to keep humidity up. The tubs have no holes punched in them either. The smaller 32 qt tubs are the opposite. The humidity is always around 70% no matter what I do. I move a smaller bowl to the cool side and the snake moves it back to the hot side and the humidity goes up. I use a house humidifyer to keep my entire house at between 50% and 60% and that helps not only the snakes but also myself and my son's allergies.

    I personally have never had a problem develop with my snakes having high humidity. Low humidity on the other hand is more likely to cause respiratory issues. I have even had a couple balls have a bad shed even though the humidity was over 70% at the time. A stuck shed will happen every so often no matter what.

    Dont worry too much. You have it pretty close to perfect now. Just give the little guy (or girl) some time to relax in the new home.

    Just use this forum's stickies to research different area's such as signs of illness, feeding issues, stuck shed and soaking, husbandry etc.. You'll be just fine.:snake:
