>>i am going to buy a humidifier for my room, my snakes enclosures are dry! i have been misting them 2x a day and can seem to get the humidity up good for them to shed.... degei just shed.... naaza and durga are still waiting, durga has went blue, naaza just went clear today..... the humidity in naazas enclosure was 30% so i misted it again...... durgas was 50%...... naaza i also put in a wet paper towel, that has helped before.... but i am usually pretty good at when they are due to shed.... and this time because the humidity has dropped so much i was way way off.



Unless you just want a hunidifier I would hesitate before buying one.

Do your tanks have screen tops?

I ended up making custom tops for my aquariums to help retain some of the heat and humidity but with screen-top-tanks I covered half of the screen and added a larger water bowl.

This was all that was needed to allow for easy and complete sheds.

I don't actually worry about the exact relative humidity, I just let the snakes tell me if it is correct.

Good complete sheds, good apetite and consistant bowel movements tell me temps and humidity are fine.

It is especially good when THEY have consistant bowel movements too.....lol just kidding.
