    Right level of Humidity

    I'm pretty sure 50-60% humidity is ideal, and a little higher during shed.

    During shed I'd personally recommend bumping up to around 75%, but under normal circumstances somewhere in the mid 50's is about right. If you are worried that your snake is drying out there are some alternatives i.e. humid hide, larger water dish, etc.

    Yep, 50% should be fine. During a shed, some people bump right up to 70%, while others just keep 50-60, and have great sheds. I keep my enclosure 55-60 and during a shed bump up to about 65.
