A bit off topic as this has nothing to do with providing water-

I moved to the humid southeast back in 92' with 300 adult rosy boas they slowly but surely waned after a couple years. It took a while but slowly one after one had problems .


So they probably react different in arid regions like the desert where (where FR lives). Things are really really dry there. And IMO that is good for rosys. and most other snakes.

So the rosys can take some humidty. But not over a long periods of time has been my findings. Maybe in a dry cage with a humid box (again it is about "choices" that works fine.

After selling off my collection in 95" I did try rosys here in Georgia. The same thing happened. Kept in a garage setup the air is just to humid and summers things really start to decompose quickly . Shaving get spoiled quick and get sour. Mold grows easily. Not the environment for rosys unless you keep in a air conditioned room with low humidity ...which is almost impossible in the south where I reside.

It is not an immediate effect.. But long term effect. I kept rosys for many years in S. Calif and never had problems with rosys. I was so disgruntled with living in a humid place that I decided to breed Florida kingsnakes. Now those are tough to kill sobs. My snake room is airconditioned and still extermly huigh humidity. so you can't be successfully with Florida kings, you might as well hang it up.
