Just want him better!

[LokiMamaz]

I don't know what to do.... humidity says 99.... I'm scared to leave for wrk.

[Kimchi~]

I completely took the wet stuff out...it was soaked!

Just placed a few paper towels on one side while the other has the new mulch. Humidity still seems high. Not sure what I'm doing or not doing.... plus I think I'm annoying him. He's hissing and looking like he wants to strike me which keeps making me nervous.

Still at 79... I have to get more bedding tomorrow. No stores open. Is he gonna be ok? ? Should I turn my room heat up more? ?

Is your moss soaking too? Take it out for now. Take out more cypress. I don't think you need *more* bedding. You might not even need cypress mulch. Just use all paper towels for now and a small handful of mulch spread throughout the cage. Cypress mulch usually comes pre-moist anyway. Leave the heat as it is. And yeah, don't mess with him too much anymore. Even if snake bites barely hurt, you don't want to stress him too much.

At work super worried about him and and that humidity while I'm here. . As soon as I get off I'm getting that 41 qt.... buying paper towels and using those for substrate. I'll put a small amount of moss but won't moisten it. Then I'll let him be. Cool??

Seems like a good plan. Don't stress about it at work since you can't really do anything and you don't want to become unfocused. Just remember when you leave.

Seems good. Don't worry about it at work or else you'll become unfocused and overly stress yourself.

Truly appreciate your input on this thread these last few days....You've been a major help and Loki and I thank you..
Just don't want to torture him. He can breathe tho right?? I added more holes in the top lid thinking that might help before I left... I only had the holes on the sides, not the top.

He'll be able to breathe. Adding maybe 6 holes on top should probably.solve the humidity problem as humidity flows upwards. My cage spikes to 80% sometimes when I spray it but then it goes down quickly because I have a heat lamp and an 8 in x 8 in meshed square on the lid. My bin is the 110 quart Steriilite bin. Same area as the 41 quart but it's taller.

Eeeek! I added way more then 6.... I added like 12 or more. I was freaking out, sorry. Well, any advice on holes for his new tub I'm getting??

Twelve is fine. I drilled my holes on my bin with a 1/4 inch drill bit. You'd probably do well with similar. The holes don't have to be exactly 1/4 inch as it's just what I did. Any similar size hole is fine. Perhaps 10 holes on each long side (not lid) of the tub and see how that works. You might have to do 5 holes on each short side of the lid too, for the sake of making sure you have enough ventilation. Try using solely paper towels in the new bin first and a small handful of damp moss. Don't spray the bin until you see what the humidity ends up being.

Gotcha! Getting off now and headed to target. Only thing I need is hides but right now I'm gonna have to get store bought but I'm noticing with those that they end up super rigid when I make the hole. .. know of any good hides that have a hole I can buy in the store??

P.s. I used a soldering iron for the holes
