    ill work on the plants I may have to trim them down a little bit. funny enough I looked in there this morning and couldn't see him. after looking for a bit I noticed he was curled up in the plants looking pretty comfy. The perches are pretty solid and don't move around I just cut the wood slightly big and they are just kind of press fit in. That will work for now until I find some that works better. But at the very least they are much more stable than the old ones. what did you use to mount your perches?

    I haven't misted at all since yesterday morning and this morning I was still at 73% so I may be able to cut back on misting a bit.
    Haha, Pat used to curl up on top of the plants too. Once Pat settled in, he quit sleeping on the plants and slept on the perches more. Now he tries to caudal lure me at night to eat me. Little booger has some big ambitions haha.

    Be careful of press fitting the perches into a glass cage. Wood swells from moisture and heat. It could blowout the sides of the cage.

    I mount my perches with https://www.homedepot.com/p/Commerci...A-10/203531944. I use 1/2 inch perches for Pat and just use a dremel to grind one of the sides off the mounts and then dremel 2 sides of the perch ends flat and slide it down into the mount.

    And yeah, like i said, i never really mist my cage at all. I use tinfoil over the whole top except for where the light dome is for Pat's UVB and daylight bulbs and where the Nano CHE is. That holds in humidity fine. You want relative air humidity, not a soaking wet cage lol. Even during shed, i never mist and Pat has had 2 perfect sheds with me. It's more about keeping the snake hydrated and snake skin is not like amphibian skin, it doesnt soak up liquids. They get their liquid from the ends...the entrance and the exit lol.
