columbian boa humidity level question?

tumbslt Oct 11, 2006 08:51 PM

Hey everyone,

I was wondering what the humidity levels should be for a columbian boa baby, if any. Right now I have mine in a enclosure with a humidity range of 40-50. Is this good enough or should I be concerned with trying to raise the humidity levels. I have read several care sheets are they are all very varied that I'm scared to just pick one. Also, if the levels need to be raised could you tell me the methods you use that work. I heard you could tape the top of one side of the cage top or that a large water bowl is all a columbian really needs. Please, any advice would be appreciated I definetly don't want to start out on the wrong foot.

Thanks,

Shannon

If your snake is in an aquarium with a screen top, cover most of it with a towel, and spray the cage 2-3 times a day. Use a humidity meter. All you need is 2-3 humidity spikes up to 60% each day.

Good luck,
Caden
