I checked the humidity at about 12 today and it was near 50%, but its not consistant. Her large hide box is located half on the heat pad and half off, she spends most of her time in that one but not on the pad side.



I am not at all happy with the screens on the top of the critter cages (sliding screen top). I have cats and they love to jump on the tops to curl up in the warm areas. The screens always need to be tightened. Its worse on my dragons cage but once the Boa starts going for the top I think she will push the screen right out if it is loose, they are not really secure. I was actually thinking of replacing the tops with 1/4" plexiglass with drilled holes. That would definetely increase the humidity and they would be alot more sturdy.



Thanks you very much for the suggestions, I will see what I can do.
