General beginner questions about my first corn snake!

[LRRoberts0122]

Alright, I'll look into investing in some of this, because I want to make sure she's happy and healthy. Are the humidity levels okay? Or will they be too high? I personally think she'll be okay.

And thank you for the compliments! She's really pretty, and I was window shopping for several months. I never really saw anything I liked, but I fell in love with her patterns. I love the way the color fades inbetween her saddles. But that cute little nose, is just too much. I want to get her tame enough to kiss her, because otherwise, I'm going to get bit on the nose, a LOT. lol

But again, thank you very much for your help! If anyone has any other advice for a newbie, I'd be happy to hear it!

I'd say your humidity temps are too high just based on the fact you only need a water dish in their enclosures which wouldn't offer 70-80% humidity, I'm not too educated on humidity factors but 70-80% is almost going into levels needed for boas and such. I'm sure someone who knows a lot more about humidity will answer but what I do know is if you do not have right humidity levels for too long (same with temperatures in the enclosure) your snake will be at risk of contracting respiratory infection/failure

How could I control this? As I said, I live in Florida. That's just the way the atmosphere is over here. What do I do?

I'm from such a cooler region then Florida (London) so I wouldn't know the difference and what could be done but like the others have said maybe a heat lamp will keep the humidity low? I'm sure someone who knows more will help
