Widj,
....Try covering most of the screen with something so that the humidity does not escape from the cage. With Rainbow Boas people often cover 99% of the screen top to get the humidity they want. You can probably get good results covering around 75 or 80 percent of the top for your Boa Constrictor.

>>I have a 60 Gallon glass aquarium. With the slide on mesh top for reptiles. I can't seem to keep the humidity above 50%-55% the way it is. I can' spend the money on a better cage at the moment. Like a boaphile or something similar. Tho one of those setups are in the future. Is there any way that I can modify it efficiently to help during shedding time for my boa? She seems to like a bit more humidity during those times, to help get a complete shed. I'ev tried an extra hide with some damp moss, but she doesn't seem to want to use this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
