columbian humidity question?

tumbslt Oct 11, 2006 08:09 PM

Hey everyone,

I was looking at some several care sheets and the humidity levels seem to be a topic for debate. Some said between 50-65, others didn't say anything about humidity. I was wondering what humidity levels work for you? And how you go about providing them? I live in Florida and it is naturally humid here but the levels in my cage are only 45 or so. My snake is also a baby is this enough or should I have more humidity? Please any help would be appreciated, also if I need more humidity please tell me ways to bring it up like spraying enclosure or whatever.

Thanks,

Shannon

Hi

I just got my Columbian a day ago, but to keep my cage humid I use pete moss. I have a basking lamp, so maybe that helps evaporate the water a little but, but I can keep my cage at 65% humidity just by lightly misting the cage once a day.

Hope this helps! I'm new to the boa scene though
