He said it right. As long as the hides are humid is what matters the most. I use aspen. In the cage is 45 ish humidity in there hides well into 55 60 area. Id go and get some probe thermometers from reptile basic http://www.reptilebasics.com/thermometers/TH-100/ cause i thought i had issues and i dont

No offence but from your posts it seems you do have issues. I have probes in my hides and if you read the thread my problem was that it was too high due to a substrate.

None taken. But my issue are not from humidity really. Im coming to see mines from damaged scales from rubbing from what the vet told me. My humidity is between 50 and 60 in both hides. Im just saying it cause i used cypress when i thought i was having a issue and turn out switching to cypress wasn't needed. But it was just advice gl to u

When your snake has scale rot you have husbandry issues in general and that same vet also told you to use a reptile carpet? Which I've never seen recommended on this site. That same vet also told you scale rot is present and didn't give you anything to fix the problem. You continue to ignore the pros advice about setting up a simple tub. I'm irritated by your posts, sorry not sorry, when you're green and don't yet have a healthy snake, I don't think you have any business giving advice.

I keep mine in a dedicated room and it stays at about 47%. I have a rack and use reptichip in all the tubs. When they go into shed I just mist the chip daily until they are done. It is easy to keep up with...just like having scoop-able cat litter. It comes in a brick so you wet it down and it expands nicely. I change it out about every 3 months or so.

Reptichips come in a brick? I know the eco-earth coconut husks come in bricks, but I buy it in the big bags. I comes pretty dry so the humidity isn't real high when you put it in. It is sort of the consistency of between saw-dust and dirt to me, it is easy to spot clean, but I hate how it clings to everything ( hides, water bowls, etc.) So I will probably use aspen or rep-ti-bark next.

Yes it comes in block. You open it put it in a tub and soak it. It expands and makes about 72 qts. Check it out. It is not dusty and doesn't cling to anything. reptichip.com
