The struggle is over! Here's how to make a humidity box for your snake to help it shed perfectly every time! Music: www.purple-plan... & www.bensound.c...
My male ball is about 20 years old and I’ve NEVER used a humidity box for him. I saw this video and got really excited to try it but didn’t think he’d really “figure it out”. After 3 days he finally did and hopefully this cures all his inconsistent sheds. I’m super excited! Thanks for the genius idea! 😁
so i’ve had my ball python for almost 2 years and i’ve struggled with sheds the whole time. a week ago i put a humidify box in his enclosure (inspired by this channel) and he just had his first full shed!
Hey, just wanted to say thanks again for the tip. I got my first Ball Python 4 days ago and he was having a problem shedding. I made a humidity box and he shed immediately. Cheers.
Emily, I watched this video last week for the first time. My BP was in blue and her first and only shed with me was a mess...pieces everywhere. It "exploded". So I followed your video and made her a humidity box that same day and this morning I walked in to check on her --- and we had a perfect shed in one piece. From her eye caps to the tip of her tail!!!! I've been working so hard to keep the humidity up in the ENTIRE tank and your video helped remove so much stress from me...because I was failing. To have this perfect shed was so exciting. Thank you for all your great videos, excellent content, amazing information...and educating ME and so many others in such a fun, no nonsense, and relative way. I SO appreciate you and Ed!
@@fionashepley478 Normally, I use a combination of 50% ZooMed Forest Floor (cypress mulch) and 50% ZooMed EcoEarth (Coconut fiber). With this shed, however, I was using plain paper towels, because, unfortunately, Lilia (my BP) came from the breeder with mites and I've been monitoring her to see if all the mites are gone. Also, I use an analog hygrometer.
@@fionashepley478 Actually, the bad shed happened while I was using the 50/50 mix -- and I worked very hard at keeping the humidity up to the correct levels. Also, I do use a digital thermometer. It's just the hygrometer which is analog -- and I'm aware they're notoriously inaccurate. But, I do not think I will get rid of the humidity box, because Lilia really liked it. And, it worked. Thanks for the help...and the good wishes regarding the mites. I hope they're gone too. I should be able to move her back to the 50/50 mix by the end of January.
That's a good question. This is what I've decided to do. I use an opaque pencil box for Elmo, my hognose snake, because he's shy. I keep it in his enclosure all the time, but I don't keep the box humid all the time. When I went to feed him about a week ago, he was inside it, so I removed the whole box so I could tong-feed him. I took video of the feeding, which enabled me to see his belly was slightly opaque. If you have a hoggie that isn't albino, the dark belly is the first place that starts to get blue. I waited a couple of days and looked again to verify and yes, he's in shed. I've misted the moss twice now to keep things humid. Once Elmo has shed, I plan to remove all the moss, clean and disinfect the humidity box (Nolvasan solution), put dry moss inside and wait for the next shed. That seems reasonable to me.
I just want to thank you for this video. I just got a milk snake and was having issues with its first shed. I followed what you said to do and within an hour, it shed the rest of its skin perfectly. So again thank you for the video. It helped a ton
Thank you so much, I really just got my first snake and I want him to live in a happy home with me, and I want him ttyl new healthy. And this video gave my great advise. Thank you so so SO much!!!!!
I've had a ball on and off for 6 years (joint custody with the ex, don't ask) and his sheds have always been really patchy but he's currently in blue for the first time since I discovered your videos and I've set him up with a humidity box, he discovered it about 30 seconds after I put it in his enclosure and hasn't left it since, This could be the first perfect shed he's given, I'm optimistic at least ^^
Love the tips in these videos. I got 2 planters I made into hides and my girl absolutely loves them. The humidity box is brilliant and I'm using one right now for the first time. Hoping for the perfect shed.
Thank you for this informative video. My first snake was a red bull also. After watching the video I made a humidity box for scarlet who was in shed. She immediately climbed in and when she came out had a complete shed. I love your videos and hope to come see your new reptile museum in the summer.
Snake commentary was awesome! Subbed. I just got my first BP last week and I love her so much! I watched your video on tubs vs glass and I may just consider a tub system. I live in Arizona, and it gets really dry here. So I’m hoping that would help the humidity.
Thank you so much for this video. I just realized tonight during feeding that my ball Damien is blueing. This should help a ton since I was afraid he was just temperamental and not just blinded.
Ahahahahah I'm never ever having anything to do with snakes or pets in general because I can't be bothered but I've enjoyed watching your videos ever since I found this channel a few weeks ago precisely because of your personality, Emily! Keep doing great things!
For those who keep a snake that requires moderate humidity such as a ball python in a glass enclosure, that’s why you’re having bad sheds. Look into PVC vision cages. My snakes (ball pythons) all shed perfectly fine without a humidity box. I just keep it at 50-60%. Ball pythons aren’t fish so don’t keep them in a darn fish tank.
Hi, iam a new snake owner, so i got a tiny qustion. So, the humididity dont need to be from 50-65% all the time for ball pythons, only while they are in shed? Thank you, love your videos :) new sub here! Cheers from Norway
Berge Since ball pythons spend a lot of time in humid termite mounds in the wild, I suggest always having a humidity box in their enclosure to use as desired :)
Keep in mind that humidity boxes alone are insufficient for ball pythons. They need at least 60% humidity throughout the enclosure, ideally 70-80%. Measured by a digital hygrometer. What substrate are you using, and how deep? Do you have a mesh lid?
@@nightinggale6470 just saw your reply… omg! What else can I do to up the humidity??? I’m familiar with reptiles (had a blue tegu for 19 years) but this is my very first ball python. My apartment is very dry, mesh lid on tank, read is at 45%, I just switched to forest floor bedding, about two to three inches up, tank is 36x18x12. What else can I do? Humidifier?
@@camip.3753 cover most of the mesh lid with foil tape, that’ll help a lot. When you upgrade (since he/she’ll need at least a 4x2x2’ enclosure) you could look into getting a PVC enclosure, they retain humidity well. I’d make the substrate at least 4” deep. Pour water into the substrate and mix it in, just make sure it isn’t too wet on the surface.
@@nightinggale6470 Thank you so so much for your help and the quick reply! You got it! I can grab the tape tomorrow and already raised and mixed the bedding. Awesome advice. He is still under two feet so don’t need to upgrade yet but I know it won’t take long lol 😆 Thanks again you’re totally awesome
So I live in Florida and thought our humidity was good enough, but our corn didn’t shed all the way on the first shedding leaving the tail skin on! I was so worried, n I made a small bowl with humid coconut husks and in 2 hours she shed the tail skin off! So this works!
I'm going to be purchasing a baby Brazilian Rainbow Boa soon and I know they require a higher level of humidity, especially younger, so should I leave the humidty box in the enclosure at all times? I will be using a small glass aquarium and covering half of it with a damp towel and a heating pad 1/3 of the aquariums side. If anyone with accurate knowledge could reply that would be great so that I can ensure I treat this baby right! Thank you!!
Curious: Aren't you worried about heat/humidity causing plastics to leach out of the plastics, especially the containers that were meant to be used for cold storage?
Hello! Can you talk about how your geckos shed? Do they have blue cloudy eyes or other signs? Do they also need a humidity box if so how long can it stay? Thanks!
I’m here in 2021 as i got my very first snake for Christmas which was a 100% Het pied ball python 🐍 and he’s currently shedding now but not in one piece so this video is helpful and I think I’m to late to put a humidity box because he has already started shedding.
Hi, first off, thank you for your video!! I got my first banana ball a week ago and it’s an amazing snake!! I have watched almost all of your videos! So thank you!! I came home today and my boy’s eyes are milky!! So it’s going to be my first shed!! Should I put the humidity box on the heat pad? Or next to it?? I have him in a 20 gallon tank. I appreciate the reply if you have time!! Again, thank you for the videos!!
Hi there! I love your channel, really helps me getting ready for my first pet snake, thank you! Question: how often do you need to change your humidity hide box? And can coconut coir be use as a substrate for the humidity hide box since the moss wasn't found around my area?
yeetus yeetus commit self deletus it depends on how long the snake is! Usually the length should be the same as the snake. So if your snake is 80cm, the length should be 80cm. Then the height depends on the species of snake. Do they like to climb and be high up? You get the deal (: Good luck with your snake
My ball python didn't like the moss in his container, so I flattened it and put a damp paper towel on top, it's perfect! This allows the entrance to be on the side like a normal hide, you don't have to worry about the moss being pulled out.
Hi Emily, is it possible to make a video of how to notice and treat scale rot. I tried looking for good reliable video but I have not found a instructive one. Hope you have an awesome holiday season.
lynne splash I believe she has heat pads underneath. But if you get a heat pad buy a thermostat to make sure it’s not to hot. You can use them with corn snakes just don’t leave it in all the time. Only when he/she is starting blue phase until he/she sheds
"So that the heat can really get nice and humid in here" haha, it's ok, we know what you meant. I love going through these old videos. It gives me hope to know that you had to work hard to become the amazing, charismatic, well-spoken woman you are today!
this video being old and all i dont assume to get a reply but on the off chance, i wanted to ask if leaving the humidity box in at all time is a good idea ? provided the snake doesnt spend all its time in it.
How long would it take for a snake to develop scale rot/damage by using that? Could it just be left in there while the snake is going through shed or should it be taken out at some point? Love your vids btw :)
Depends on the kind of snake! She does mention in the video that some snakes only need it around shedding time, it some snakes need higher humidity all the time. For example, ball pythons need ~60% humidity, so it would be recommended to leave the box in their enclosure all the time
@@alexise7060 nice, I have a corn too! Keep in mind that they benefit from having 60-70% humidity throughout the enclosure (they can tolerate lower but this range is ideal, they come from humid states like Florida)
I love the idea of these! Problem is, with my snow corn I can't really tell when he's going into shed as I am very new to keeping reptiles. I fear I may not know when to put the box in!
@@FiSH-iSH Why would you reply to this question if you’re not confident in the answer? If you’re not a snake keeper and have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about, just don’t reply. Instead, you’re giving out advice on something you have no knowledge about.
Hi!! I had a question...I recently ordered some Loose Coconut Fiber substrate-solely for my humidity bins for my ball pythons. I’m worried though that it might be too small?? Like the fiber almost looks like sand, it’s soo loose. I’m worried it might mess with them...would the loose coconut fiber be bad to use? They have a separate tank for feeding so I’m not at all worried about them swallowing it
Man, I'm gonna try this out the nearest time my taeniura frisey ( see him in my video ) gets blue eyes. I wonder it this works! We used to have perfect one-piece skins but now it is rare altough I spray the inside with water. I will surely leave a comment on how it went!
the snek commentary was the best!

Carrie Baehr I’m fine with snakes (my oldest has an Everglades rat snake), but creeped out by spiders!
Same here :,(
Aw I'm sorry, snakes are awesome
Time to show your mom snake videos so she can start liking them like you did. :)
My mom hates snakes with a burning passion. And yet, I asked for a garter on my X-mas list.
How often do you have to re wet the moss and how often do you have to throw away the moss and replace it?
I guess when you see it drying you should wet it and when the snake sheds you should replace it idk
Until it molds or mildews, I guess.
That's a good question. This is what I've decided to do.

Worked like a charm. Our ball python went in the first day I put it in his tank. Next morning he had a perfect she'd inside the box
Humidity boxes are insufficient for ball pythons. They need at least 60% humidity throughout the enclosure, ideally 70-80%.

Question: how often do you need to change your humidity hide box? And can coconut coir be use as a substrate for the humidity hide box since the moss wasn't found around my area?
If you don't have the Moss is it okay if you just put damp paper towels on the bottom
do you need a big or a small humidity box for a milk snake
and how big terrarium do you need in width length and height
yeetus yeetus commit self deletus it depends on how long the snake is! Usually the length should be the same as the snake. So if your snake is 80cm, the length should be 80cm. Then the height depends on the species of snake. Do they like to climb and be high up? You get the deal (: Good luck with your snake
What if i only have like a baby cereal container can i use that as a good humidity hide ?
My ball python didn't like the moss in his container, so I flattened it and put a damp paper towel on top, it's perfect! This allows the entrance to be on the side like a normal hide, you don't have to worry about the moss being pulled out.
Hi Emily, is it possible to make a video of how to notice and treat scale rot. I tried looking for good reliable video but I have not found a instructive one. Hope you have an awesome holiday season.
Snek commentary was best
Do you have to use a hear lamp or heat mat with a humitity box?
Can you use a humidity box with corn snakes?
lynne splash I believe she has heat pads underneath. But if you get a heat pad buy a thermostat to make sure it’s not to hot. You can use them with corn snakes just don’t leave it in all the time. Only when he/she is starting blue phase until he/she sheds

Brenna Holmes Try Long fiber sphagnum moss

Do you reuse the same moss for every snake
If it hasn't been used for very long then I reuse it with another snake. But if it has been several weeks, then I replace it.
Thank youuuuu
