i just bought a new rack for my balls and all i keep in it is newspaper for the bottom and a water dish, is 85% to 90% to high for the humidity even when my newspaper stays dry?

im new to racks so im just trying to make sure i dont hurt any of my snakes.

thanks,
Brice

Hi,

I have the same set up. I have had it for several years. I have been told by the pros that the only thing you don't want to see is visible moisture from normal everyday living . When my snakes urinate the fronts of my tubs fog up. So, I have had no health problems ever and all my snakes give me perfect sheds. I also live in Denver where the average daily humidity is below 10 percent ambient. As long as you are not seeing a fogged up tub you should be fine.

thank you i put more holes in the tub and it dropped the humidity to 63% to 68% and now there is no condensation on the tubs and all of my snakes are shedding in complete sheds and are eating great!

thanks for the advice,
Brice
