Hi there! I'm new here and am very excited to be part of this community.

Introductions aside I just wanted to ask about my ball python, Edgar, soaking. He always soaks before a shed and I'll give him a little "bath" and spray his tank extra around those times. However he has recently been soaking even more than usual, and his shed has been taking longer to come off (he hasn't even started rubbing on anything to get it off, but his eyes are very blue and the skin is starting to loosen). I did get him a new light and I suspect its drying out his tank more than the last because the humidity has gone down a bit. I have been spraying him to make sure this shed is fine, but I was wondering what you all recommend that I do to keep the humidity higher. Is there any affordable humidifiers that work with ball pythons, or should I maybe try to cover some of the lid of the tank (which is screen).

He is my first snake and has been doing well for the one and a half years I've had him and I want to keep it this way! Thank you for your help, even if there is nothing to worry about as a crazy snake mom I have to make sure, of course!
