Last week we got a humid hide with moss in it to help Mr. Snake - we have had two bad sheds with him so far. He loves it! It is also on the warmer side of the tank, so that it's not cold and humid, but toasty and humid. It's his favorite new place - who wouldn't choose a moss bed over Aspen shavings?

Anyway, last night I had him out and I heard the TINIEST little "pop" when he would breath. Could the humid hide be too humid? Could he be getting sick from it? Note: there was a tiny bit of skin from his last shed in one of his nostrils, but it was more of a whistling sound and then I thought I got it out. He does not have any mucus, etc.

Our husbandry: Cool side is 77 degrees / 53% humidity - but we also have an UTH on that side since 77 is a bit low, so it's warmer under his hide w/ belly heat (on a dimmer - both CHE and UTH are on a rheostat). Warm side is 91 degrees / 43% humidity with a regular hide and the humid hide (we mist the moss every day to every two days). A large water bowl is in the middle and other cage accessories for hiding, climbing, etc.

Are humid hides always good? Or can they be too humid? After I heard the tiny pops late last night, I left the humid hide askew to help it dry some and not be too humid.

Thoughts? Thank you!
