    Re: Please urgent! Help with humidity in terrarium

    I'm not sure there needs to be concerns with the entire room. The most obvious issue here is not letting substrate dry out a little before putting it into the enclosure, Occam's razor and all.

    I have the snake in my room, I have a very small house so it is the only place in which I can put him but sincerely I have no idea of how much humidity I have in this room... I never had humidity or mold problems in the room, I think it's just the terrarium that isn't good for a snake (I didn't buy it, the old owner gave me with the python). In any case I buyed the materials for build a better terrarium but for now I have to do all with the old.
    I have a air conditioner in the room with dehumifier, tell me if I can use it.
    It's just an idea, but I leaved in the sun (i put on it an insect screen) the rest of the coconout fiber that I buyed for the terrarium. I think that in a week it should be dry. It is better to change the old humid fiber with this more dry? It's the only solution that I have in mind, for now.
    In any case here some terrarium photos.

    I'm glad you're planning on building a new enclosure. Not to jump down your throat, but looking at these pictures there are some serious short comings in your current set up. Rather than type a novel out for you to read through, I highly recommend you dive in to the pinned threads in the BP Husbandry section and take a look at some of the information there. Right off the bat I only see one hide, and to be frank that enclosure looks small so I'm not sure what kind of temperature gradient you have going on. There's a ton of great information in those threads, so take some time reading through them and feel free to ask questions, that's what this site is here for.
