    this is true and will help I've done it for my blood.. take a tub-a-ware container with a lid, about the same size as one of your hides. with the lid on cut a hole the size of the tight hide hole in one of the sides, put the spagum moss in and soak it with water, drain out the excess and place it where you have one of your tight hides. that should help.. I've also been told that having lamps help to pull the humidity out of the tanks.. good luck, cheers

    Re: Humidity Question?

    The ceramic heat emitter is what is dropping your humidity. Being in Florida I assume you have air conditioning which is also lowering the over-all house humidity.

    You could try using cypress mulch substrate or making a humid hide.

    I basically just use a plastic container with a hole cut in the side and I put damp moss in it. Just make sure to change out the moss every couple days and that should help during a shed.

    Other then that there isn't a whole lot you can do other than change to a tub

    Tub or a Vision cage . I'll tell you having perfect 50-60% humidity at all times is very nice. Also I can increase the humidity a bunch by either covering the back vent on my Vision cage or just using a tub with less holes. Tanks just get too much to deal with just to be able to have a prettier display for your snake.

    Try a larger water bowl at least half way under the 60 watt CHE I bet that brings it up.
