    Re: Best way to make your own moist hide

    My only concern is that the snake will constantly choose the humid hide for the humidity, regardless of temperature.

    Once I get my cage I was thinking of having 4 hides.
    2 hot side hides - 1 humid with moss , 1 not
    2 cool side hides - 1 humid with moss, 1 not

    .. But will they constantly use the humid ones and make the non- humid hides useless?

    Does anyone think this is unnecessary and overkill.
    unless your humidity is extremely low (less than 30%) I would only put a humid hide inside the tank during shed. if your snake decides to lay in a humid hide 24/7 you will likely have issues with scale rot.
