Shed Question

[Bogertophis]

Thanks! I've heard of humid hides but never considered them because I've always gotten a perfect shed on both my snakes. Is this any different then putting something that holds moisture in the hides that I use now (i.e. common black reptile basic hides). Since, I'm using AP cages, the humidity stays pretty high. I just sprayed my enclosure to bump it up.

If you just stick very damp matter in a regular bottomless hide you'll end up with a wet (damp) cage floor, which promotes mold & scale issues on your snake. It's better
to keep this much moisture in one location, & fyi, spraying the cage seldom does very much to help...not sure I can explain why, but it's not only my observation.

I have a spotted python who needs, loves & regularly uses her humid hide. Hers is actually half-way over the UTH too, so it dries out faster, but she likes to be warm,
& without this humid hide, her sheds are awful. With it, not a bit of trouble.
