Okay, that is about right. I have not been keeping detailed records, but I was amazed at how frequently I would go to feed them and see them in shed, which would mean they were less likely to eat. They are shedding clean, just more often than I see in my boids or even my mussuranas. I'll quit worrying about that. Thank you!

As to the temps, I am going to try to have them in the air conditioning by the end of the week. While we are on the subject, how cool will you let them get in the winter? Almost all of my supplemental heat sources are off for all of my animals right now. Once we start getting temps in the low 70's overnight, I will have to plug some of them back in (I am in southwest Florida). I was planning on keeping the mussuranas and indigos in the same rack. With the mussuranas, it seems that I can do no wrong (except getting anywhere near their mouth if I smell like rodent or other snake), although I don't turn on the under tank heaters for their cages until much further into winter than the boids and I set the thermostats in the lower to mid 80's for the warm spot.

Thanks to everyone for the advice and help. It is appreciated. What I am hearing is that high humidity is fine, as well as frequent sheds, but I should try cooler temperatures. Everyone has already saved me some time and concern.
