I would also suggest adding a humidity box, that way you won’t have to worry so much about keeping the humidity up to 65-70% during shed.

To answer one of your earlier questions(apologies if someone did reply... there was just too much unnecessary reading):
A humidity box is not required, but it doesn’t hurt to have. However if you find that your snake spends ALL their time in there, then I would opt to put it in only when they are in shed. If they sit in there for long periods of time(and I mean days on end in there) there is an increased risk of scale rot.

Don’t be alarmed if your snake is in there through the duration of the day! That’s okay, as long as they are moving and getting around at night. I can usually tell that my snakes are active because stuff moves around, whether that he substrate or some plants/decorations.
Yes, the humidity levels are definitely dropping in there now that the substrate has dried out a bit. We will spray it and cover most of the mesh cover, thanks!

We will probably buy a humidity box to be sure, as well. And he is definitely moving around at night, he comes out around 7pm and starts exploring!
