hey i was wondering...i found a different caresheet and it said most kings and milks do good at a relative humidity of 40- 60 my cal king is at about 35...i know it obviously matters alot more when shedding but i was wondering if u had to keep it in these levels?

Whats up chuck 420, my favorite time of the day,lol.

Anyways, cal.kings dont need humidity, as you said during sheding its good. What I do is just mist my snakes when they are in the blue, other than that I dont have much humidity at all, I keep water bowls with them at all times, for all my snakes except the rosys-(those should have no humidity if you have any rosys). So dont worry about that, some of the other lampropeltis can do well with a light mist here an there, I mist some of my hondos at times, I think they like it, they sit there and love it actually. I also live in the mtns where we have that cool dry air already-(thats why I keep mtn kings, I have the perfect place for them) but your cal.kings should be fine without it. Later,
