It just seems that Elaphe (or Pantherophis) no matter what climate--like bairdi, seems to be more tolerant of humidity than Bogertophis.



The "other" Bogertophis, the Baja rat snake, is also extremely sensitive to higher humidity levels.



It's also interesting to note that Senticolis, a snake that feels delicate in your hands like a suboc, is also susceptible to illness if humidity is too high. Pretty wierd, huh? Who knows why exactly?
