Re: Best way to make your own moist hide

My only concern is that the snake will constantly choose the humid hide for the humidity, regardless of temperature.
Once I get my cage I was thinking of having 4 hides.
2 hot side hides - 1 humid with moss , 1 not
2 cool side hides - 1 humid with moss, 1 not
.. But will they constantly use the humid ones and make the non- humid hides useless?
Does anyone think this is unnecessary and overkill.
unless your humidity is extremely low (less than 30%) I would only put a humid hide inside the tank during shed. if your snake decides to lay in a humid hide 24/7 you will likely have issues with scale rot.

Re: Best way to make your own moist hide
If you are just plain having humidity issues, (it should be 40-60), then Eco earth, and a larger water dish can be used. I would only use a humid hide when in shed. When humidity needs to be 70. You can place damp, not sopping spaghum moss in the hide. This helps humidity, also gives them something to rub against.

I have a humid hide and a dry hide. My ball uses both very frequently. They won't always chose the humid one.
