High humidity ? and other guide lines
Hello guys and girls, i'm new around ( didn't spotted any "introduce yourself" threds ), i'm Dorin from South Eastern Europe happy new owner of a ball python.
Just brought my first ball python home. He is now in a 14 gallon, will be moved next month to a larger enclosure.
Now the thing that bothers me a bit is that i have high humidity in the house, it rained alot for the past few days so that may be the culpit, but i also have a 210 gallon fish tank in the room witch i asume causes alot of the humid air.
I don't have a digital gauge, just a plain circular one witch may be off. It reads 76%, temp is at 78 and rising ( heat mat under the hiding spot, inside the hiding spot i assume it's more ). From what i've read humidity should be around 50-60, am i going to have problems ?
He/She weights 485 grams ( 17.1 ounces ), didn't checked the length, i'm going to leave it some rest now as he just got home. Also he looks like it's shedding, and the petshop guys told me that too ( he has a water boul in there ). The lady at the petstore told me they tried to feed him a week ago and didn't accepted the food. They also said, they used to feed him once 3 weeks witch i assume it's not good and might be underfed ? how can i check ( i can't feel his ribs, but his skin looks loose a bit, maybe because of shedding ? ).
Thanks, will post some pics a tad later.
