Help there's a snake in my sink!!

[SCWood]

All I'll say on the soaking issue is that with over 40 snakes, most of which are bps, none of them ever get soaked and I nearly always have perfect sheds. Sometimes I have issues in the winter due to the house being so dry that keeping cage humidity can be a pain.
So to the OP, are you saying this person won even let you have proper gauges in your own cage?

Thank you I will try this!

A humid hide is a pretty good place to start. A hunk of sphagnum moss in one of the hides that you moisten frequently will work wonders for your humidity. You can also provide a large bowl of water in your setup if you honestly believe your snake enjoys the soaking. I have an oddball who loves to soak in his water bowl (even if he is quickly outgrowing it). His setup is identical to the other 3 snakes in the same sized tub as him, and a scaled-down version of my bigger tubs, no mites or other bugs, and it's only him that soaks. It's possible I'm missing something with him, but the best reason I can tell is that he just likes it. I still wouldn't take him out to soak him, but if he wants to do it himself I don't mind.

Absolutely. The only reason one snake has gauges now is because he came with them in his tank. She will be furious if I buy more for mine. I use an in fared temp gun when I can and I measure humidity with a gauge that has no backing and she hasn't noticed yet 😧

Yeah, a lot of people recommend things when they shouldn't.

I really do not envy people coming into this hobby these days. There are so many forums out there, and a lot of people offer advice when they shouldn't.

As Daigga stated, a humid hide is an excellent way to provide a humid microclimate without resorting to misting the entire cage. It provide all of the benefits of humidity, without requiring the owner to turn the enclosure into a giant petri dish.

The idea is to take a hide and fill it with dampened and wrung sphagnum moss. Alternately, people are now producing humid hides which are essentially a pottery hide with a small fluid reservoir on top. The pottery absorbs and releases the water over a period of time creating a humid hide without the moss.

I will look into those! I was also debating a mist system but it seems like a lot of work. That and half the time I have great ambient temps and humidity and other days I don't. Florida weather is bipolar
