    Re: First Post, Be Gentle Also First Snake

    Hello! I have no experience with bioactive terrariums, so I can’t give you any advice there, but adding more hides and cover will help her feel more secure & comfortable. Get a thermostat to regulate your heat sources if you haven’t already (Herpstat and Vivarium Electronics are both good options, though pretty pricey). What’s your humidity? I’ve heard that many people use a mix of cypress mulch and eco earth as their substrate with success! It boosts humidity and retains it better than aspen for sure. (I don’t know if this is good for bioactive). If she still has stuck shed maybe give her a bath and try to get it off? -haven’t done this myself-. Keep it shallow so she isn’t actually swimming, as well as warm. Do not peel skin off of it isn’t ready.This is just an idea, I have no experience with doing this so if someone else does please correct me if I’m wrong. To boost humidity you can gently mist her enclosure, but don’t get t too wet as this can cause scale rot and mold the aspen! I would feed her in the enclosure for sure, less stress and less chance of regurgitation!! It won’t make her any more cage aggressive.

    If I am incorrect in any of my advice someone with more experience is definitely welcome to correct me. Welcome to the forum and I wish you and your little girl nothing but the best.
