First Python! Humidity? Uvb light?

[akane]

I did a quick look but it seems lots of people can't get a solid humidity recommendation for spotted pythons. They don't seem real picky as long as they have a water dish. I might mist during shed if it's really dry out. Our house got below 20% a few weeks ago. I needed misting :P At first I thought my one humidity gauge so far had malfunctioned but then we woke up with sore throats and dry eyes. Best I can do with a humidifier is 25% until the weather warmed a bit and we got rain instead of ice. Went from 10% to 85%. Welcome to Iowa. I temporarily had to move my blood to the aquarium room and gave him a bigger water bin with an aquarium bubble stone in it.

Same problem I ran into. No good recommendations for humidity. So I'm just going to mist half the cage everyday and go from there. What else can I do, ya know? Lol
