Hi, I'm new. Please don't get mad at me, i did my research but i am young and did not focus on humidity requirements. I got my ball python a year ago and since then his humidity has only been 35-45%. I noticed online that ball pythons don't have wrinkly skin like mine. I thought this might be due to it being skinny, but with research, found that i feed the perfect amount and my snake has never skipped a meal. I thought of dehydration and bingo, that was my answer. The snake also takes a long time to shed, and he sheds very small pieces at a time. This prompted further research and i think everything is ok besides the humidity.

Here are my questions:

1. Tomorrow i will cover the top of the aquarium. I read that seran wrap works or a towel with foil taped to it. What is the best method and how much should i cover, 3/4?

2. I should soak him in lukewarm RO water, right? How deep should the water be, and how long should i leave him in it?

3. Will he be scared of the water or will he enjoy it?

4. Can I mix in coco fiber into the substrate (fir bark) to increase humidity?

4. How long should it be before he is fully hydrated if i soak him, cover the top, and mist him regularly?

again, please dont be mad at me. I would never purposefully hurt an animal, and i have learned better now and am trying to fix my mistake. Thank you!!!
