as far as humidity 60 to 70 percent should do fine this species always seem to have stuck pieces around the hood and midline.
one way to void this is soaking the bedding around the time of shedding (increasing humidity) but for general maintance perposes 60 percent should be fine. i've kept 6 of these interesting elapids and just make sure you always have on eye protection because these guys are generally about the most acurate of the spitters (although have heard that rinkahls are about as bad) but for true naja these are about the worst. on a side not these guys seem to be the most reluctant to bite so that is a plus,kinda,
good luck
dave
