Ball pythons origanally come from Africa, right? Now before I get started, I have my tank at 82 on the cool side and 92-96 warm side. I just bumped up her humidity b/c she's getting ready to shed. With that aside, I know it gets considerably hotter than 95 in Africa, and I didn't think it was very humid there. It just seems like a very dry place to me (I've never been but still...). I started thinking about this when my mom started asking me these questions and I didn't know any of the answers. I know they will get burned if it's too hot, but do they burn often in the wild? And what made people start upping the humidity, since it seems so dry where they are actually from?

I'm not going to change any of my settings, but I was just curious as to where these ideals came from. ^_^
