Humidity questions.

[bfirecat]

Hi there!

1) No, I do not use hygrometers. I keep the water bowl in the rack and I have not had an issue with sheds ever. I also use paper towels.

2) Depending on what the humidity is, I'm not sure you need to mist at all. If it is too dry, you can just mist the sides. If you over mist (too high of humidity), it could be bad for the pythons (such as scale rot).

As for substrate, cypress and aspen work just fine, pick whichever you prefer

I already have one hygrometer. I figured I could pick up one more and just rotate them through the rack. If seems to hold pretty well but dropped when I had ceiling fans running to cool off our living room. I just like knowing what it is but now that I am getting more snakes I am thinking that is a ton of money on instruments that seem poor at best. I like my to gun because it seems to be within 1-2 degrees accurate. Every time I look at hygrometers on the shelf they all ready different RH and that doesn't build confidence.

I know that amazon has some but after shipping, duty, brokerage fees it doesn't make it very cost effective.
