How do you maintain coconut husk humidity????

[Sauzo]

Hey guys. My bad canadian winter is making it hard to control humidity for my Ball python though my boa is doing great. I just bought a brick of coconut husk to replace the aspen bedding with. I already know how to set up the husk in the beginning, however what I need to know is how to maintain it. Like I have an over head heat lamp for this specific enclosure and I'm sure it will dry out the husk. It's only 50 watts red light but it dries water pretty quickly in the glass tank screen top. I use a spray bottle to mist all my reptiles down daily but do I do that with the coconut husk? Do I spray daily or every few days? I'm not a beginner at snake keeping but I've lost a lot of equipment due to life's hardships so I don't have a humidity gauge or decent amount of money for a reliable digital one right now. Just need to know roughly how you maintain and how often you add moisture to coconut husk.

If you have to mist your cages daily to keep decent humidity, you have too much air flow. I personally prefer the chunkier coco stuff like ReptiChips. It seems to hold water better and longer. The coffee ground stuff seems to dry out really fast. In my AP T10 and T8 cages, if i put in 1/2 deep Reptichips in there, i will have humidity spiking to 100% for days.

Even with aspen, i generally only give it a good misting once or twice a week in the winter.

To answer your question, you mist the stuff whenever it dries out and the humidity drops. It will vary from cage set up to cage setup.
