There is honestly NOTHING at all wrong with 80% UNLESS your ambient temps are cold... 78+ and your fine, congratulations you'll never have a bad shed =) and a happy snake!Originally Posted by Felecia
So I have my ball python in a tub setup. He has a decent sized water bowl, not too terribly big or small. I've soldered two rows of holes on each side of the tub as well as some on the top, but my gauge still says the humidity is 80%? There's a chance it's just plain wrong, as it's one of those cheap analog ones (I've ordered a digital and I should get it Monday). But if it is correct what else can I do to lower humidity? 80% seems just way too high and I don't want to just solder holes all over the thing.
IF for your sake you want to know, Use this

This will help you to Calibrate your gauge to + or - for proper humidty.
Lastly with stick on ones they are very unreliable as other say Because IF a drip of water from mister or condensation gets near or behind it. Well now the readings will skyrocket to obserd amounts! I just use them for more of a "guidline" having a rack system i have 0 hygrometers and havnt ever needed one, i know my snake room sits at 50% dry times and 60% normally all my snakes have been happy for 2 years now going on 3! i check on them every 1-2 days and if one is in shed, he gets a sticker and my attention(which just means i mist him at night/morning + a small deli with a hole punched lid with water) I have a temp/humidty gauge for my entire snake rooms, and ran with ARS rack so humidity will rougly be the same. As i said I juse use it as a guideline! aslong as your know your humidity isnt extremely low or vis versa you should be fine(/Health wise)! And can judge by his shed!
