I just typed my reply and for some crazy reason, it never went through??

So here goes again...lol !

I used to have my Pythons and Boas in a temerature controlled room. Now, since my family and I moved to an apartment , I don't have that luxury.

I only have a 0.1 Borneo python . She was this years birthday gift ( yeah me !! ). She came from Bob Clark.

She is going through her first shed. She should be shedding in a few days.

I have her in a sterilite tub with an Ultratherm heat pad controlled by a thermostat. Temps are good. The problem is that my humidity is too high 82-86 % even when I had her on dry newspaper( if my Taylor thermo / hygro is accurate ). I keep adding more holes to the tub with no success. I switched to DRY cypress at the recommendation of another Borneo keeper ( I was told that DRY cypress would help absorb the humidity ).THERE IS NO CONDENSATION IN THE TUB). I noticed that she had some cypress dust in one of her nostrils and I do not like this. So I may try the course aspen.

I am thinking of buying a hygrometer that is manufactured for the cigar industry as I know that monitoring the humidity is necessary to preserve the integrity of quality cigars. ANY THOUGHTS ON THIS IDEA??

THANK YOU for helping with tips!
