i have few groups from Facebook, there handful groups give me some not very clean what correct humidity %..

some of them say 30-40%..

some of them say 40-50%..

some zilla bag (bedding) say 50%-60%..

even google not give me exacity anwers.

even the sandboa book not tell what exacity % for my sandboa. Because i first timer own sandboa, and i am still learning how to take care my sandboa.. i only own him for about 6 month.

here my tank look like.. and there say 41% humidity.

i need to understand about humidity, because i kind of little confused lol

thank you so much!!!!

If you are keeping a sand boa, house humidity levels are perfectly acceptable. Just make sure you provide a water dish, and a proper hotspot and there is no need to worry.

They require something around 50% (on the cool side)... opposite of what the name seems to imply; sandboa's do not live in sand.

Ps. relative humidity depends on temperature, hence you'll find different answers because it matters where those measurements are taken (hot, cold, in between, the thermo gradient). F.e. 30% relative humidity at 95F is the same as 52% at 77F.
