Major humidity problems

[kylearmbar]

The best option and cheapest is the moss, you can buy it at petco or petsmart. You keep it in their hide and keeps the humity in the hide high, since that is where they are most of the time, and it doesnt cause any mold or anything, but u need to spray it everyday tp keep it damp, and when u first put it in the hide. Also I recommend taping down either tin foil or cling wrap so its covering 70-90% of the top screen, as opposed to the wet towelwhich can start smelly musky. And moving the water bowl partially over the hotspot as well.

And one more thing. Heat lamps dry out the enclosure and cause low humidity, since you live in a very dry area already I highly encourage you to buy a under tank heat pad instead and a thermostat or rheostat to control the heat. Ball pythons do not bask and need belly heat, it is much better for them.

They have heat pads too, right now they need both to keep their tank warm enough. Will the thermostat actually make the heat pad warmer so it will be enough?

Also, don't try and heat the air with the uth. Keep the heat lamp and try what I mentioned above. It works for me using a 40 g glass tank.

Actually, Stormy is rarely in his hide. Only when he has just eaten does he go in there. Usually, he is zooming around his cage, or curled up in the middle or on top of his hide, but not in it. And Orelia always stays in her perch, she doesn't even have a hide (she is a carpet python). And they have a waterbowl on their warm side and cool side.

I already tried cling wrap, and it didn't work AT ALL. It was horrible. Ill try the foil tho
