    Re: Humidity

    You could start by not keeping them together

    Agreed they all need separate tanks. IMO 70-75% is too high unless they are in a shed cycle, sounds like scale rot waiting to happen, but then again what do I know....

    I didn't know about the tanks I though that if I have my two males together and the females as well it was good. And about the humidity which will be the best %?

    Re: Humidity

    And I was wondering why can't you keep two snakes of the same sex together

    first thought is those cages look too small to do that...second is that it could be seen as competition and added stress on the animal, they have no way to get away from each other if they wanted to. You are essentially forcing them to be together.

    It stresses them out to house them together, and when they get stressed they can refuse to eat, become aggressive. It just isn't good for their overall health.

    85 ambient....No


    You can have a 77-80 ambient overall, 85 is pushing it if you ask me with that a hot spot could be taken away.


    With humidity i run roughly 55-65% more humid early when humidifier on then let it fall out night.

    My ambient in room is roughly 78+/- so open air ARS rack its again roughly 78+/- with a hot spot of 90.

    I believe if you had a ambient of 85 he'd be sitting on or around water ALOT.
