Young milksnakes are moisture-loss sensitive. They love and do well in moist hides. Ideally they would be underground where they do not lose much moisture and where humidity is very stable and moderate without a wet surface. In captivity that is kind of tough to do consistently.



Letting the hide dry out before moistening again is one way to average out the contact with moisture. Do that and you will not need to be concerned. Moist hides are a good thing for milksnakes, especially in glass tanks with screen tops, and my advice to you is to keep it.
