Humidity and Temp question..

[Lioness]

What are some problems that can come from having high humidity..or cool side temps at like 76?..

If the humidity is very high, you will get condensation which invite bacteria to grow.

Low temperatures lower the immune system of reptiles.. much more likely to get respiratory infection.

double post. sorry

oh ok... i understand now.

so..if the temps on the cool side of the enclosure are anything below 80..its a good chance your snake is going to be more open to diseases than one that had a constant temp of say 85...

i never knew that... i always thought the temps were more for digestion and such.. never occured to me that it can take a toll on their immune systems.

interesting stuff.
