>>I really don't think an ambient 70% humidity would hurt your snake. As long as they have a spot in the 40's to escape the damp if they choose. I live in one of the most humid spots in the states, FL. My outside humidity during the summer can average 80 - 99.9%. We consistently have daily rains, granted I use an air conditioner in my snake room that dries it out considerably but there are times I run 70% for weeks on end and I still offer a hide that has damp moss. The interior of their cage will range from 50 on the dry side and 90% in the damp hide. Just my thoughts.

I agree Jimmy....
I, too live in a VERY humid place......
I never heard that they should be between 40 and 60% humidity.......
I say if one provides a gradient they will never miss what the snake needs.... ----- John Lassiter
Poor planning and procrastination on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part...
