my new blood python

[ori222]

this is my new female blood....she is one month old
one question-is 55% humidity to low for her?

[Invictus]

Way too low. Blood pythons need to be in constant contact with moisture, OR have 80% + humidity. I know the care sheets say 60%, but I found when I kept my blood at this humidity, she was constantly in her water dish. In the wild, you'll find them in mud holes, marshlands, and buried beneath leaf litter where it's always moist. I HIGHLY recommend putting your blood on moist sphagnum moss.

okay i raised the humidity to 70% by putting a part of my heating cable under the water bowl

You still have to bring your humidity up a little 10%... perhaps you might spray her once or twice a day? You could also use moss... I've dealt with a few bloods before and none of them would eat if they didnt have the right humidity... Anyways, if the snakes eats and is kept as such a low humitidy, its a good thing but it might still develop some respiratory problems, skin problems ( for sure!! ) and general dehydration...
