I am also in Upstate NY and we've got lotsa Childreni.

We keep ours relatively dry - they don't seem to have the same trouble sheds as ball pythons do.

I do provide a 'moist' hide for the 9 yr old adults in the form of a small rubbermaid with a couple holes drilled in the side and damp long fiber sphagnum moss in it.

In the winter I will give them a misting every once and a while but they seem rather content even so just with the large water bowl. Perhaps your enclosure has a lot of air circulating - like a mesh top - and you don't get the benefits of a fully enclosed PVC home. It tends to keep the moisture in.

The younger ones are very into exploring. Our adults are usually very content just to hang out on our neck and look at the world from there. I sit for hours with them that way.
