    Re: I think my snake has a burn.

    Yes, the sticky on how to set up a glass enclosure is a must-read!!! When I got my bp, for the first two weeks or so that I had her, I was only using a heat light, and humidity was regularly like 30-40% unless I misted like 5 times a day. Then, she started showing signs of RI. I was told by this site that it was most likely due to too low temps, and too low humidity. After reading the sticky, I ordered a UTH, thermostat to regulate it, and a digital thermometer with a probe to more accurately measure temps and humidity, and started covering about 3/4 of the screentop with aluminum foil to keep in humidity. Read that sticky!!! Once I got her husbandry right, her signs of RI went away, and she's been thriving. Now that winter is over, and with these humidity modifications, it stays up to 60-70% easily, even without misting. I've read that as long as your enclosure is not wet, higher humidity shouldn't be a problem, that it's the lower humidity which causes issues.
