    I like using a humidity box, that way not the whole tank is humid thus no risk of scale rot. Having one place be humid is good for when shedding time rolls around.

      my name is my name Humidity box. Cut a hole in the lid of a small tupperware (big enough for the snake to fit in) and fill it with a layer of sphagum moss, and keep it damp. This way they can decide if they want to go in for more humidity plus it acts as
      a hide.

    if you dont want to mist your terrarium, you can get a humidifier and put it on a timer near your tank or get a reptile specific humidifier (they have a lil tubey on top, you could always add this to a normal humidifier too!)

    This video is awesome like your videos always are. It's full of information and in my opinion one of the most important topic of reptile keeping.
    When I started reptile keeping I had problems with humidity because of a damaged hygrometer (It told me everything is fine) and the first shed of my bp got stuck. I bought a new one and this worked perfect and never had problems ever since.

    I also often have a hard time getting the humidity to the right place for my BP. I live in the desert where average humidity is less than 10%, so I had to be kind of inventive. So for the best method is to have those room humidifiers and jury rigg a few PVC pipes to the opening to direct the mist into the tank. I am also going to be getting a hygrostat as soon as I find a good one to control the humidifier to make sure the humidity doesn't get too high.

    Thank you for this! I recently acquired two emoji morph ball pythons from a friend that could not bring them to the home they were moving into. I've been struggling with humidity and misting multiple times a day only to have the humidity drop to 30% within just a few minutes. I took your advice and placed a towel on top of their cages opposite of the heat lamp and the humidity went right up to where it should be. Perfect timing too as they JUST started into a shed cycle. :)

    HUMID HIDES ARE THE BEST. I use them for my ball python, my corn snake, and my western hog nose. I have NEVER had a bad shed from any of them. I keep the humid hide in my ball pythons came permanently. But I put it in the other snakes tanks ONLY when they are shedding. Works like a charm.

    That is a very hepfull video. It helped me in considering getting the colombian rainbow boa, as I was wary between the different infos from the owners. But turns out it is easier than how they picturize it to be. I knew already of all the options, as I was sitting in this topic for some time already, but this video told me some of the most comfortable and safe go-for to the snake :) The humidity shouldn't be much of a problem aswell as I live in Scotland, in here it's quite chilly and has a heavy mistied air. But I still want to set up the terrarium as healthy and cozy for the snake as it can be. Thank you for that video!

    Hej! Thank you for the very nice video!! It is very helpful!!
    It is important too that you look for how big the ventilation supply of the terrarium is!
    If it too big, the air will be more dry and if it is too small, the glasses inside the terrarium will get wet and that may could cause breathing problems for your snake!
    Best regreats, Robin!
    Have a nice evening!! :-)

    I actually use paper towels for substrate and to keep the humidity and heat up i took an old piece of backing from a TV stand, cut it to length, and covered it with foil and taped it in place. It reflects the heat and the evaporation of the water hits the metal and condenses again and statts the water cycle within the tank so it helps with humidity. When she goes into shed i use wrist warm water and spray her directly (off the head) and inside her main hide she uses then spray the glass a bit (like misting for chameleons). She has shed with no issue every time in one full piece.

    I have been watching all your videos on binge because I am getting one soon!
    I have a question about plastic terrariums. If I were to use a reptile heating pad that goes underneath, will it melt the plastic? is there a specific type of plastic that's safe? thanks! :D

    Cigar box humidifiers with digital controls are the best for keeping your humidity perfect in your enclosure. This also keeps it from getting soaking wet and stops the risk of scale rot.

      Hi, happy to hear it. I've heard that any plant from the Bromelia spieces should be good for terrarium ^_^

    I have a rainbow boa baby (they need 90% humidity) i have a large bowl for soaking, a waterfall on the hot side and my secret weapon MOSS! They sell it and moss really holds in moisture rising the humidity quite a bit :)

    It took me a while to get my snakes tank humidity correct , I personally experienced humidity when I visited Louisiana in August especially at night lol

    I have a solid piece of malaysian driftwwod that I soak in warm water for ten minutes if my ball python needs higher humidity. It absorbs a lot of water and releases it slowly, so the humidity is higher for longer. But she is housed in a plastic tub, so that may be a contributing factor.

    I have been watching your videos for months now and finally got a ball python, I was wondering if 65% is okay, I am using aspen in a glass tank and I put a humid hide in there

    Hiii, loving your vids! I am now the proud parent of a ball python, as of today. and the humidity in the enclosure is too high and i’m not quite sure how to bring it down. i want to make sure she is comfortable and doesn’t get scale rot. what should i do?

    A great video, I am happy I found you, but I have the other problem, the humidity level in my ball python’s terrarium is too high… I have glass terrarium from exoterra with good ventilation, I introduced colonies of two different little bugs that eat mold, and whenever I’m in the room I’m keeping the lid open. the water bowl is pretty small and on the other side of the heat mat, I had a humidity hide, but I removed it, and my new snake was stressed so I needed to cover the terrarium and it rises up to 90% now it is all open to provide better air flow and it’s at 77%
    (PS I’m a newbie, trying to make my first snake happy and healthy 🙃)

    Sphagnum moss will help as well.

    For someone who can give advice, i just purchased a ball python ( i live in arizona so i know we have a low humidity environment) and he is in a glass enclosure with a screen top (i didnt want the screen top but i purchased a starter kit from my local reptile store and they said it should be fine) however ive had him for a few days now and for the live of me i can not get the humidity levels to rise even when ive taken all the advice i could get. I have the hygrometer (two of them because i wasnt sure if the first one was acurate. i also have themometers on both sides of the tank so i can know the temps for both the cool and warm side) Ive made a humidity hide that i also purchased from the reptile store, ive got sphan moss (not sure if thats how you spell it) through the hide, i purchased the substrate that helps with humidity and ive also misted it twice a day (i dont want to over mist to avoid scale rot).
    I put a Cermic (again not sure if thats how you spell it) on top of my enclosure because its also been very difficult to get the temps right, and its in the middle of the enclosure. both sides though are closed off with this tarp thing and a towel on top of it so i can trap as much humidity inside the enclosure. Even with all this tips and tricks my dang humidity WILL NOT INCREASE PAST 35 PERCENT. Right after a mist it does shoot up to 50-60 percent but then after 30 minutes to an hour its back down to 30-35. Please help because i really want to be able to fix this as soon as possible. I do have other concerns as well and have gone back to the reptile store and theyve taught me some tips but its not very effective so far.

    What hygrometer do you use and is there any you recommend? I really wish you would have shared that. You clearly have that perfect for your snakes
