    Question BP Humidity Levels

    Hi everyone, i have my ball python on his glass terrarium with humidity levels on 50%-70% right now with temps around 25șC(only at night) - 34șC. Its a good condition for my BP?, he is on shedding process and spends the whole day in the water bowl, is that normal?.

    BP Humidity Levels

    For my ball python, during a normal day we keep the glass terrarium around 55-65% humidity and ambient temp of 26-30C, but a basking spot at 92C. But one end of his cage is cooler and if humidity is too low he sticks to that side. During a shed I bump humidity to 70-75%. He has always had a clean shed and I've never actually seen him soak, not even during a shed. I've never heard of a ball soaking all day so I'm not sure.

    BP Humidity Levels

    Are you cooking snake for dinner? I assume 92C is a typo

    well, then i assume my temps are normal. i forgot to ask if having only one temp all around my terrarium affects? If it doesnt affects, i think my BP have mites, because i see a little dots around his body not moving but some of them looks like down the scales and the scale looks a little lifted, so i think he are just trying to drown them. just in case i buy a Reptile Spray from Natural Chemistry i just need to wait until the shedding process ends and 6 more days so i can spray my buddy.
