    Put the water bowl on the warm side of the tank, and that should help some.

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

    Re: Humidity problems!!!

    a hide box is also called a humidity chamber. most bp will spend alot of time in one. so you don't need to keep the tank at a perfect level if the snake is spending time in one. you can add different materials that is snake safe to help hold moisture in it. DON'T let the water puddle in it for your snake to sit in. good luck don

    Re: Humidity problems!!!

    I have bps in both tubs and in tanks....the tanks don't keep humidity at all with those screen tops so I provide a humid hide filled with wet/damp moss. I make sure it is especially wet when the shedding starts and I always see them using this hide before hand. Also my tanks have plastic wrap over the top screen with holes poked in it to keep the humidity slightly higher inside.

    Tubs seem to be the best thing you can do though, they keep humidity nicely with just a couple mistings now and then.

    Yeah you can make a humid hide out of a tupper ware container. Cut a hole in the side and put some moist moss in it. I give one of these to all of my reptiles.

    Re: Humidity problems!!!

    coco fiber / coco soft works grate for holding humidity that and a warm wet towel on the top of my glass enclosure works just fine stays at 60% for me with one mist morning and one at night and wetting the towel once a day
