    I still would get a hygrometer to measure this, you would be surprised, and even if it's fine, it's still nice to know...and as far as tank temps, your supposed to have a warm side and a cool side.

    Re: 3 questions about the shedding process

    Its when you get a spray bottle (that has never contained chemicals) and fill it with water and spray it in the enclosure. You can take a trip to wal mart and get the spray bottle in lawn and garden area and an accu-rite or similar digital thermometer/hygrometer in hardware or lawn/garden area for a total of less than $15.

    The heating source makes the enclosure warm. How do you know your humidity is fine??? I urge you to get a hygrometer to measure your humidity, especially because you are using a tank as your enclosure. Just my humble opinion.

    You shouldn't soak before a shed, because soaking can actually leech out the natural moisture that's building between the layers of shed, which will result in a bad shed. Soaking should be done after a bad shed. If your snake sheds fine, then there's no need to ever soak.

    You also can't know that your humidity is fine unless you are measuring it with a hygrometer.
