    Re: Will 62-65% humidity

    Well I think it should be fine but not to sure. I know all the care sheets say 50-60 but not sure if 63-65 will cause harm. I'm sure peolple here will let u know

    wow that's wierd that we both have 19 on our user names..??..

    Re: Will 62-65% humidity

    It's fine. I've seen them due fine with up close to 70% humidity. 62-65% is ok, and won't do any harm, plus humidity can fluxuate a bit. A lot of caresheets recommend in the 50's though.

    I wouldnt mess with it. 65 is a happy median since you're going to want to bump it to 70-75 for shedding anyway. This way you wont have to do anything come shed time, or at least that's what my experience has been. I keep mine at 62-65 and my BP's are doing great if I say so myself.

    How do you get the humidity up to 65%? I can only get to about 45% right now.. and at the moment my 2 month old ball python is shedding in little pieces

    I would recommend a Sterilite tub with holes burned in the sides of it. Also, try putting the water bowl on top of the heat mat.

    P.S. to Bp.net!
    Dude, where did Bob go?

    Re: Will 62-65% humidity

    I use a tank. One thing you can do is make sure its the proper size. Also, the aluminum foil treatment for the tops works well. I don't use lamps unless it gets really chilly in the house (only once or twice so far when its rainy since we don't used the AC/Heat). Also, I used foamboard on all three sides. The humidity stays at 60-65% in both tanks.
