I had to start mixing the coconut husk w/the aspen because by itself it was TOO humid. I expanded it, and left it just squeezed out wet, then put it into the tank w/the heat lamps. When the humidity drops because the husk is dried out, I do one of two things (depending on time): 1) mix wet into the bedding, or 2.) pour water into the coconut/aspen and mix it all up until it's slightly damp.


The other thing U might consider is just leaving a humidity hide in the tank full-time. Then if snake feels it's too dry he can slither and self-regulate that way.

I too have problems with the humidity. My house is cold that w/o heat lamps to help the UTHs nobody would be warm enough on the "hot" side. These ideas help me. With my work schedule, I sometimes dont have time, or even forget (I HATE ST memory loss & chronic fatigue ) to mist. W/the wet coconut husk and h. hides, I don't have to mist much.

Good luck
