I'm worried

[Shaun J]

Well,my humidity keeps rising,and i can't stop it.How can i lower it?How long can it be high?I don't want my snake to get RI.I saw red spots on him all down his back,should I wait till he's done shedding?I am desperate and I want to make sure he is ok.

what are the humidity levels?
im pretty sure if you stay below 75-80% you should be fine, and you dont wanna drop below 45-50%. in my expierience ( very little actually but ill try to help anyways) my red heat lamp sucks the humidity out of my tank and keeps it at a steady 50-55%.
hope this helps.

they are 76%.I am really worried about the redness in the scales.

How do you have your ball python set up? .... What kind of humidity guage do you have? .... I've never heard of anyone having a problem with humidity being "too high" in Maryland in the winter.

You either have a bad guage or not enough air flow into the cage.

its a rubbermaid,I use an accurite.I'm going to put more holes in the enclosure

[Ginevive]

What kind of substrate? You could go to plain newspaper if not, and put more holes in the sides to let out humidity since sometimes even a simple water bowl can put humidity way up.
Are the red spots like scabs, or burns?

[Shaun J]

i dont know about the red spots...I am gonna take him to the vet.Or should I wait till the end of shed?

[Schlyne]

Btw, how big are the red spots? If they're really tiny and they move, they're probably mites.

[Shaun J]

they are really tiny,they dont move

Are they on the scales, or in between? In-between could be ticks. But they are more brownish to orangish in my experience.
