The reason I'm asking is that I purchased a small humidifier to bring relative humidity at about 60% in my snake room (all I have now are Ball Pythons, and I've read many keep ambient air humidity at about this level). I found that there was a lot of condensation on the window of the room. Will 60% RH break something in my room? We're just in a new house and I was not able to make a snake room in the basement right now, so we're using what was supposed to be our spare bedroom for the snakes until we manage to move them downstairs (will be years before we get there I fear). Will I get mildew and rotting paint, baseboards curling, etc??

Thanks for your input.

the house is worth more tan the snakes.....(probably)

........just get them humidity boxes with moss and forget the wet room .......

yes you will warp boards after a point (mold etc etc)....

..........balls are alot easier than you think........

........yes mine are in a wet basement and loving it......but 90% of people keep them upstairs in a normal room setting.......

.........have fun........

definitly lower the humidity in your snake room
that is way to high for dry wall it will mildew and your trim will more than likely warp

you could put in dry wall that goes inbehind showers as its ment to take water but its very expensive and i'd imagine you could move them into your basement for the same price
