Is it ok to use a Terrarium Humidifier for my ball pythons??

I just got 2 ball pythons and yes they are in a glass tank that i will change as soon as i can. But for now yes i have noticed it is not holding NO humidity so my fiance bought a terrarium humidifier which was pretty costly so im hoping it wasnt a bad choice...Oh and it has made them come out of their hides which they have been spending all their time inside since we've got them but as i type one of the ball pythons is actually roaming her whole tank...

Can i just ask are they housed together? If so they should really be separated.

In terms of the humidity if the humidifier keeps it above 55-60% then that is good

Yes they are together right now :/ i figured its not that bad since they are still small probably a little over 1ft long and i rescued them from my job together... as for the humidifier we actually are able to control it its been steady on 60 we can lower it if we like to...

I am surpirsed that noone has poste dthe ball python eating a ball python yet............. You really should separate them sooner rather than later

Doesn't matter their size. This can happen (Just for Rob)

Anyway, if you have humidity at 60 then good. I try to keep mine between 50 and 55 but 60 isn't bad.
