Well apart from a small humidity issue (is is running too high, will be making more holes in the RUB tomorrow to try again) Eclipse seems really happy. In true snake style she tucks herself away all day and comes out to explore in the evening. I thought it may just be a one off but she has been out the hide moving around every night since.

I have ordered some mice fuzzies and rat pups to try and entice her into eating on Tuesday/wednesday... hopefully if i can get the umidity issue sorted she may well try a little mouse, but not holidng my breath lol

How active she is, i am thinking maybe i should have gone with a larger RUB hhhmmmm

Unless the walls of the rub are dripping then humidity is fine to just be left to balance itself out. What substrate are you using?

I wouldn't worry the humiditry will drop in a day or 2, its only long term high humidity that causes problems. When I set up my RUB the Boa kept getting in the water bowl, causing the water to get out and the humidity was sky high, I dried up the spillage but humidity always took a day or 2 to come back down to normal.
