Humidity Problem--Too High!

[ebbanflo]

I have a small humidity gauge/therm. probed to the hot side on the bottom of the tub that I got of amazon. I bought a wireless accurate (I think it's called). Seems like a popular choice on here. for the cool side that just sits on top of the newspaper. It also gauges temp./humidity.

Cool, I only have one of those cheap analog ones while having digital thermometers/thermostat for the heat map..

Just shopping for a new one so looking for some suggestions

I read somewhere on here about using a rubber made container filled with moss. Can someone explain this to me cause I can't find the post. I keep moss in a section of the tank for humidity but thought the container thing sounded better and wanted to try it with my larger ball because I'm having a hard time with humidity in his tank. Thanks!

Making my humidity really high. In the younger BP's tubs, the humidity is around 63%-66%, and for the older BP's it's around 65%-75%. It isn't wet in the tubs at all, just very humid. Is that okay? I'll keep trying to put more holes in there but I'm just worried about getting any RIs and what not.

This humidity range is not too high. As long as the substrate is not wet / damp to the touch, you will be fine. This is a very common humidity range in summer months. It is actually lower than several native ball python habitats in Africa experience on a regular basis.

Scratch that idea lol he won't fit in any of my containers that could fit in his tank. He's a pretty big guy.

Essentially get a box of some kind (Tupperware or whatever fits your snake and you can cut), put moss in it, put snake in it. I have these as my guy's regular hides, which are leftover takeout containers from Milwaukee Burger Co, IIRC.



He's not feeling coming out since he's gone blue.
