Corn Snake Humidity Question

I finally got my corn snake today, pictures coming soon, but I totally forgot to buy a hydrometer. (Will buy one probably on tuesday) How much should I spray him each day until then? And for how long each time?

Re: Corn Snake Humidity Question

No need at all, I've NEVER bathed or sprayed any of my corns and I've never had a bad shed. If you're using aspen it can actually cause mold to build.

Re: Corn Snake Humidity Question

Okay thanks. I saw that he had a little piece of stuck shed close to his eye. Should I give him a quick bath, or would that stress him out too much.

Re: Corn Snake Humidity Question

Leave him be... Corns are simple when it comes to humidity. If I notice mine going blue I might mist his cage 1-2 times the entire shed just because it is better safe than sorry but they do well in low humidity.

Re: Corn Snake Humidity Question

I have read a few pages on corn snake care that say, "leaving a water dish large enough for the snake to soak in will be enough to prevent bad sheds". I heard corns are pretty simple in regards to humidity.

Re: Corn Snake Humidity Question

as the others have said no need to worry about the humidity. All we do is add a damp hide when we notice the eyes clear from being cloudy and clear shed every time. Even then its only with a few of our corns we need to do this with as most do well enough without the damp hide.

Re: Corn Snake Humidity Question

They do appreciate a moist hide at shed time.
