Too much humidity

[dorydiver]

Hey there,
First off, 75% isn't anything to worry about. You, as usual, just need to make sure you're on top of keeping things clean and that the substrate stays just damp, never wet (the snake shouldn't be lying on consistently wet substrate or condensation). There is something to be said for letting a habitat sit where it's comfortable sitting (as long as it's a healthy range for the animal in it) vs forcing it to be, for example, a few percentages lower in humidity, just because that's the accepted magic range that works for most - and then end up constantly fighting it.

However, how long have you had it set up? If you have a screen top, it may not take long for that humidity to drop a bit as the ecoearth starts to dry on the surface, depending on your room environment. So if you have only had it set up for a day, I wouldn't make any decisions until you see how it behaves over a few days. Also, I'm sure you know this, but make sure you're using a digital hygrometer that you trust to take the readings, so you are confident in the number.

Just be aware you'll probably need to keep an eye on the humidity anyway - just because it's on the high end right now, doesn't mean it won't settle lower come a dryer winter. Even if you decide to switch substrates for now to make yourself feel better, there may come a time that eco-earth may be perfect for you if you end up with humidity changes during the seasons - that's ok, don't ever be afraid to be flexible, that's part of the process.
