Humidity

Uhhhm, Pineapples.
So, i have been having some bad humidity problems, my corn snakes tank is at 60%+ humidity all the time, and i cant figure out how to lower it.. My ball pythons tank is right next to my corns and his tank is at a constant 70%, maybe if i change the bedding it will lower it?? Do you think its the pythons tank thats just putting humidity into the corns tank? Maybe get a super hot heat lamp and let it get rid of it for awhile? I need to figure out how to lower humidity!!
 
You can use a dehumidifier in the room. That's my first thought; hopefully others can offer more suggestions.
 
Honestly, 60%+ isn't that bad for a corn snake. High humidity isn't as big an issue as low humidity. You could try to improve ventilation if that's possible with your setup. You could also move the tank away from your pythons to see if that helps. I'd advise against getting a heat lamp, as you wouldn't run it 'super hot' as this would make the tank way too hot for your corn and this is dangerous. If you do decide to get a heat lamp make sure you also buy a thermostat so you can regulate it's temperature.

But in all honestly, the only thing you need to look out for with high humidity is wet substrate which can lead to scale rot, but other than that it's not a huge deal.

Hope that helps a bit! [emoji4]

if your water bowl is over or near the heat pad, move it to the cooler side of the tank.

Also, you might check the humidity in your house. If the house humidity is that high, it will be hard to lower it in the tanks. (It's easier to raise Tank Humidity than to lower it). As mentioned above, if your humidity runs high like that all the time, you might need a dehumidifier.

But if it's only like that occasionally don't worry about it.
