As far as the humidity goes, maybe I am wrong and it is better to raise it. This is just what I was told my a friend of mine who has beed keeping and breeding boas for many years. I never tried because I was afraid to after hearing what I was told.



If you look below, I posted something earlier ("advise for this season" about my boas and RI's and maybe you guys can help me out.



And for the pine shavings, that is something I heard from a lot of people on a few forums here in the past. I have never used it personally. My thought on it though, if some people say stay away from it, why find out the hard way when there are so many other great substrates available? I use paper/cage liners, and love them. If you want to use a wood similar to pine, use aspen. No risk and it works great.
