How to control Humidity within the cage.

I have not yet purchased my Ball Python yet, but am wanting to get the perfect atmosphere for my snake before I bring it home. I have the temp. adjusted properly but am having trouble stablizing the humidity. Knowing that they require 60-65% humidity, how can I maintain this with a screened top cage?

Answer:

The average humidity in the enclosure should be about 50%. The snake's water bowl should be large enough to fit his entire body inside to soak, so he can regulate his own level of moisture. You can also add a "hide box" with damp moss. This can be as simple as a plastic container with a hole in one side, which will retain a higher amount of humidity than the rest of the enclosure and allow your snake to visit it as he wishes -- still, the box doesn't need to be any higher than 65% humidity. Conditions that are too damp are also a health problem for ball pythons, so as long as you're providing a large water dish and your snake is shedding well, your setup is probably fine. Enjoy your BP, they're great snakes!

Humidity Issue?

My ball python is about 2 years old and has not been shedding normally the past two sheddings. They break off into a bunch of small pieces and some are still stuck to his back, mostly around his neck. He is eating normally and active at nights. The humidity gauge says it's about 50%, the tank has a large water bowl (I put filtered water in it), he has a hiding log and a climbing log, and I spray the tank with filtered water once a day or every other day. Can snakes not like water? I haven't seen him go into the water bowl, but I can't be sure since I'm not always watching him all night. Am I doing something wrong?
