Opinions on misting
Lot of various opinions on this, some say mist daily, some never mist and just wet the bottom of the tub. I battle humidity in the room my snakes are kept, sitting right now at 21%, running humidifier on high can get me up to 50% but it cannot run the full day without needing to be re-filled (2gal unit). I have a BCI and BCC boa, and 2 SD retics as well as the GTP in this room. The big snakes are in Boaphiles and rarely get sprayed and they all shed perfectly. GTP is new to me and has not shed for me. His cage humidity sits around 30-40 unless sprayed daily. He was not sprayed at the breeder, just a wetted bottom on the tub every few days. I have a monsoon 400 and wondering if I should put him on a daily mist for 30 seconds or so. I was toying with the idea of auto misting as this would allow a set time of day to mist, I could schedule daily, every other day or whatever days I would like, and my biggest thought would be less stress on the snake as the front door would not be opened all the time. His tank is in my room and I keep a eye on everything, maybe a little overly anal on the details at times. I have seen him drink from his bowl and it gets changes every other to every 3 days. He is in a exo terra 18x18x18 tank with RHP. Sides and back are lined with bark cork board from exo terra, eco earth soil with humidity balls.
