Interesting reply. Dude you do have some real problems. If you remember some in Tucson supported hogs with deep humid substrate, in boxes larger then your whole cage.



Why I say you have some odd problem is, I was not aware of any keeper in Tucson saying you should not do what your doing. The use of moisture boxes in snake cages dates back many many many decades.



Your reference to Tucson is also odd as there has been no mention of eyecap or shedding problems. In fact, as one who lives in Tucson, I have not experienced that type of problem. But if I did, it would first address it by preventing the problem, then if the problem still existed, by providing a moisture box of some sort. A towel is nice, but they tend to dry out quickly and are not all that natural.



If I meet anyone in Tucson with the problems you mentioned, I will advise them to see you. Best wishes
