i got my humidity Gage today, and well inside the wet hide its reading 90 and inside the tank its reading 70-75 ummm is this too high, i herd that if its too high it can cause problems for your snake?
 
Damien is shedding, right? I think that during the sheddng process you will be OK. Once he completes his shed, I would remove the humid hide. That will lower the relative humidity quite a bit.
 
thanks, hes in the shedding process - "i hope, i think" he has gone through all the stages and Ive taken pictures in the "Damien's shedding process" thread so i really think he is gonna shed soon and i hope because his skins dead tight and when i got to stroke him he gets abit mad so it must be herting and irritating him to... :/
 
Probably the humid hide is raising the humidity of the whole viv- which is ok while he is shedding and as soon as he is finished and you remove the humid hide, the humidity will go back to normal. What is the humidity in your room??

i donno, id say around 60 my room is the hottest room in the house so water in the air soon goes away, i donno if that makes humid go higher or lower, but i have a readiator, a fire, and a heat blanket, not to mention my rooms not very big and full of furnature, so it does get hot hot hot
 
wouldn't hurt to have a hydrometer for your room along with the viv. That way you can maybe try to regulate it a bit better?

its like woodchipping stuff, i really not sure, and snake mom, once he sheds i'am just going to get rid of the wet hide, then things should go bk to normal!
 
Alright if your so sure once you get rid of the wet hide, your humidity will be fine. Why did you sound so concerned in your post? I was just making a suggetion as to how you could regulate your humidity in the future. Sorry if I offended you
 
Couldn't you take the hygrometer out of the viv and measure your room??

Just measured my room- 76%. Outside it is 80%. Gotta love Florida!

No, you totally did not affend me, and i so respect your suggestion, the reason i sounded so worryed in my post is because at that time i herd too much humidity could cause problems for your snake, but then lore explained everything to me in private message.. eventually i probably will get one for my room but its more about the tank i'am worrying about, the only one question i have left is, what lvl is the max it can be for the snake to be alright, like what lvl does it start causing problems for your snake? its at 70 atm!
 
Ok, so here, where my wild corn came from- that is what the natural humidity is right now. I don't think you have anythin to worry about.

Its important to know what kind of wood chips you have. There are a few kinds that are toxic to corns, (pine, cedar, fir, etc) and others that retain moisture too much. BTW, aspen is the absolute best for corns IMO.

Agreed, use to use Repti-bark, but found Aspen MUCH better, both snakes seem to like it more since they can burrow much easier in it and it's much easier to keep clean. Just scoop out the area where they poo'd and fill that part in.
