The humidity is about 67% in the viv, is there a way to get it down reasonably fast? theres not a snake in there, but there will be in an hour or so.

Cheers!

Interesting ...no idea so I asked Ziska, and she said, lots and lots.



Ziska - hhhhssssssshhhhhhzzzzzsssshhh!!! I said MICE, Lil, NOT rice!! Humanssssszzzhhhhh!!!!! (Tail rattles loudly!)

Attaching a new sponge to the top of the viv or placing one inside somewhere also helps.
I stole got that idea from a member on another forum for my beardie vivs, it worked well in there.

Your humidity will be fine.

LOL - congrats!

I have a private theory that they can yawn when acclimatising themselves to/out of interest in different/new/enticing smells; the jacobsen's organ is in the roof of the mouth after all. I've seen snakes yawn when getting interested in prey. Cats do something similar - have you ever seen a cat sniff and then leave its mouth agape? It's getting the full benefit of a new or interesting smell. But just my opinion lol.

You'll see that there are loads of opinions on humidity ...me I'm staying out of it in future, more peaceful lol...

Sounds like she's settling in well and having a good time exploring - you will have to post up some pics soon ...congrats again!

Thanks BATS!

I just picked her up, now she's having a cruise around her viv.

Am I REALLY lucky to have seen her yawn twice in 10 minutes already, or is she trying to breathe in that humnidity? It wasn't that humid where she was before. She's not been fed this week yet , cause I picked her up just before food day.
