bset way to keep humidity up would be to use an undertank heater directly under the water bowl and figure out a way to close up the top to hold the heat/humidity in, and still have ways for air to circulate.

You just answered your own question. Take the chondro out of the 15 gallon and put some nice fish in it. Put your animal in a tub or a enclosure built for arboreal snakes.. there MANY out there. This alone will slove your humidity problems hands down.

Your chondro should have come with a an ID card letting you know when it ate, deficated or shed. If you dont have one, contact your breeder. This should give you a great idea how often your animal sheds.

I agree with Julian. Switch from the aquarium to a tub or a cage designed to house chondros. Joe
