She said she took the snake to the vet for a CHECK_UP, at which time he reccomended 40% humidity. As far as general maintainance for a BP...40% is darn near perfect in my experience. BPs don't require anything more than that under normal conditions. IN fact for a BP, a blood, or even a GTP, too much humidty is far worse than too little. This is a very common husbandry mistake. The obvious time in which it would be good for the humidity to be a bit higher is when the snake is in a shed cycle.

My snakes get room humidty, which can be in the 20s or 30s during the winter in my house, exept during shedding where I'll mist and/or dampen the substrate a bit. I have never (in more than 10 years) had an RI. People that insist on mainting an artifically high humidity are opening themselves up to scale rot, etc.
