Humidity Advice
Hi all, first I want to say thank you to those that have answered my questions and given advice. I have gotten my first ball python! Everything is great and he is eating and has already shed fine. I'm so happy.
I plan on cleaning his tank soon and right now his humidity is at 75 on cold and 65 at hot. I'm using aspen shavings right now which I know isn't the best with humidity but obviously it's not causing a problem. What I want to know is should I change the substrate to something that others have suggested is better for ball pythons or stick with aspen. I just don't know if a different substrate will raise the humidity. Because I know that above 80% is a little high. Or if there is another substrate that you can recommend. Thank you.

Your humidity is a little too high actually, right now. Unless your snake is in shed, you want it about 50-60% max, & keep in mind that it's going to be lower on the warmer side, always.
Aspen is not generally recommended for BPs because it doesn't hold humidity- but obviously that's not an issue for you, for some reason.
Congratulations, btw, on getting your first BP- we look forward to meeting him.

Re: Humidity Advice
Ok thank you, I have poked some holes in the tin foil roof to let some humidity out.
And here is my boy, his name is Rango.

That was an easy fix! Poking holes in the foil-
Nice to meet you, Rango- You're a very handsome little guy.
