How can I keep my humidity levels up? About an hour after I mist, the humidity drops down to 40.

use cypress mulch.....take cup of water and dump it in the one end.....once a week or twice or whatever is good...it depends on the cage you use.......

some I can dump cups in and it is dry as a bone in a week(freedom types homemade) others sweat all the time and hardly lose any water.(Boaphiles)

I use this method in my rack..not in the display tank where people will see it.

Take a TupperWare(from $ store),container and poke several small holes in it.

Then take a chunk (large enough to fill the TupperWare), of the green water block stuff florists use and soak it.

Put it in the container, put the lid on and stick it in the snakes tank.

This is called a humidity box and I did't invent it so don't thank me.

buy a humidifier and keep it in your room .

Check your temp, it may be too hot, or try cypress mulch as mentioned above and cover at least half of the top of the cage wih something that will keep humidity in.
