I agree with winged wolf. I have never thought the humidity could be too high for BPs as long as its reasonable. Its just not something I wanted to say here without more proof. There was recently a thread about the high humidity in the burrows and termite mounds BPs live in. Which more than proves that high humidity is a must for a healthy BP. As long as it is not a moist environment. Humid air but not moist surfaces. 70 to 80% in these conditions should never cause a health problem for a BP. I keep my BPs at a slightly higher humidity anyway due to some of them living in the same caging stack as boas and borneos. No one complains
Ever wonder why our boas and bloods always shed in one piece? Yet our BPs often have good sheds and the occasional bad shed? Well its because we pay more attention to the higher humidity needs of boas and bloods, not realizing that our BPs would benefit from the same treatment. Boas and bloods are considered tropical snakes. That makes sense but how can a BP be considered anything BUT a tropical snake when they live in very humid holes in the ground? They may live in africa in areas of desert and plains but they never leave that burrow/mound until its dark and the humidity robbing sun has gone away..
Food for thought
