                Posted - 21/04/2011 : 19:32:56  its supposed to be around 55%, but mine drops to 25% during the day, and up to 45 / 60 once the heater drops to the lower evening temperatures |

                Posted - 21/04/2011 : 18:13:07  I don't measure humidity but I live in a coldish house (ie humidity's going to be higher than a centrally heated house) and in summer windows are open. After a snake has cleared from blue I keep the water bowl at the hot end to gently increase humidity. I like Blackskull's tip about putting a wet flannel over the hot end hide too. 
  So far so good - apart from Shahi having difficulties as a baby, my snakes shed very well, touch wood.  |
