Humidity

What is a safe humidity for a ball python to be at at all times in a rack like the highest and lowest they can safely live in not including shedding?

Have you checked out a Caresheet?

To answer your question:

• 50%-60% normally
• Raised to 60%-70% during a shed cycle

Hope this helps!

So if the rack stays at 75 all the time will they get RI I'm asking cuz I can't get it below 75 in my new rack

Can you describe how you keep your tubs? How long they've been set up, how often you mist (if at all), substrate, water dishes, etc...

Also, what methods have you used to try to lower humidity?

41 qt tubs in open air mailmien rack 6oz water dish newspaper substrate a hide on hot spot and hot spot of 90-91

O they have been setup for a week and no mist

Cool side is 80-82

Is the water dish by any chance sitting on the hot spot?

Nope its on the cool end

Are you certain that your humidity reading is accurate? Depending on the style, they can be wildly off.

If it can be trusted, it may be time to slowly start soldering holes into your tubs to increase airflow (assuming the ambient humidity of the room is lower than 75%).
