Hey...

I have noticed that every time "Fluffy" eliminates, his enclosure complete fogs up. Is this normal? Why does this happen? I haven't read anything about this before and was wondering why it occurs and what makes it happen...?

I see that all the time, shows you have cages without a lot of ventilation. Good for those species that need higher humidity.

Well, it only happens during eliminations - what is the cause of it?

Also, "Fluffy" is a Jungle Carpet Python, is the additional humidity OK for him?

basically she's voiding out warm moist stuff. That will evaporate water into the air rapidly. When the moist air contacts the relatively cool window surface, it condenses.

I'm not up on carpet python care specifically but IMO should be fine. As long as you clean when it's needed The humidity, in general, is good for shedding.

Yeah, one time, he shed and eliminated during the same night. I always clean his enclosure, as soon as I see the mess.

So, that "void" is normal? Is it gases?

Yeah, sounds normal, just like the bathroom window fogging up when you take a shower, warm water evaporates quicker and more volume than cooler water. When the warm moist air hits a cooler surface, the water condenses.

Works great as an indicator your snake dropped a bomb that needs cleaning.

ya... what he said. condensation means not enough ventilation. i would recomend uncovering some more of the screen (or whatver kind of top you use and then put some moist moss or something in there to up the humidity. you do that, and you have better ventilation wth the same humidity.
