Humidity Question

Ok as some of you know I was planning on getting a Pueblan Milk Snake this week an I just got him today! Anyway onto my question. I need to know what percentage the humidity needs to be at because on all the different care jeers I have looked at it doesn't say. Same going with when e is in shed. What percentage is all I am looking for. Answers are greatly appreciated and don't worry I will have pictures up soon. Also don't have a name yet so feel free to give suggestions.

Re: Humidity Question

To be honest, I keep 4 milk snakes, and have never concerned myself with the humidity, they all shed fine too..

Re: Humidity Question

Ok well I don't know what the humidity is like there but I live in Alberta and it is pretty dry so I'm just kind of worried about that.

Big water dish. You should be fine.

When in shed, dump some water out into the enclosure and top up the bowl. Clean the bedding after it sheds.

Re: Humidity Question

i use tupperware type containers filled with sphagnum moss with a whole cut in the top.

i change the size of the containers as they grow, but still keep them reasonable enough where they can wedge themselves in there pretty well and feel safe.

Re: Humidity Question

Yea that's what I'm doing right now because then it gives the option of having a little more humidity
