    Think so, just make sure the probe doesn't get wet.

    Comforting!

    I put some sphagnum in her favorite hide but i think she hates it!
    She went in it to check on what i did and since then she refuses to go back in there
    so i took the moss out and just put it in some corners of the tank

    I thought of "mixing it" with the substrate
    what do you guys think ?

    You'll have to watch the moss because it can mold fast. To raise humidity when mine are shedding, I just put a small cup of it in their bin where they can't get to it (usually on top of their hide) and it helps amazingly. But that's with a plastic bin, which holds humidity amazing anyway.

    For my brazilian rainbow boa, who needs high humidity, I have a large water dish half over the heat mat and a humid hide. It's just a locking tupperwear with a hole in the top, filled with damp cypress mulch (which doesn't mold). It doesn't look great but I honestly don't care much, lol. I care about health more than the look of my tanks. I'll probably care more once I switch to PVC display tanks.

    If you put the moss around, she'll get used to it and then she may like it inside her hides. You can soak the moss, then squeeze it out well, and put it into place. Just check regularly that it hasn't dried out nor molded.

    You'll be able to tell the humidity much better once you've got the digital one. Good luck! It usually takes a bit of tweaking to get everything just right.
