Aspen bedding is another great way to keep humidity up in the cage (I do not use it for my larger boas because of how large their cages are, but I use it on my baby boak s/pythons), I just use a spray bottle and spray my little red tails cage every couple of days and it keeps humidity at the right level.

If you found mites on the snake, there will be more where that came from. I would suggest buying some Provent-A-Mite online, I had a big mite problem with my rescue boa but after getting Provent-A-Mite I haven't had any problems. I've tried some other mite relief products from Pet Co. and neither of them worked for me.

Thats great that he is eating! I can't tell from the pictures but the snake does not look dehydrated to me.. I've seen a snake that was dehydrated once and its eyes kind of dipped in somewhat - but there could always be something I'm not seeing

The only other thing I would suggest if covering up 2-3 sides of the glass with newspaper to give the little guy some security while hes getting settled in.
I'm not sure what my humidity level is at.I took the humidity reader out of my gecko's cage,it was really stuck to the cage and I had to pull really hard and I broke it So now I need to buy 2 (one for each cage)

The tank she is in,is the same tank it was living in at the pet shop so the back and sides of the tank are painted black.

My gecko is in my old bearded dragon 60 gallon reptile cage (its wayyyyyy to big for 1 leapord gecko) but to keep his temps up, I use a beach towel to hold his heat in.buts its easier because his heat lamp hangs inside the tank (high enough that he cant touch it) but with my snake I cant use anything across the whole top because her heat lamp sits on top of the cage (she can reach the lamp and push the top off if I put the light hanging in the inside)

where can order Provent-A-Mite and do u know how long it takes? how long can she go with mites on her?
