Thanks for the advice, Kyle. I will focus on the humidity.
With respect, I don't agree with you on the snakes' inability to show affection. I have six snakes, and they each have their own personality, as well as various levels of affection. They show it in many ways, and more often than not they seek it, instead of passively accepting it. Some are very clingy, some more independent, but they all are, without any doubt, attention seekers. I guess it all depends how they are treated. My husband and I handle our snakes every day, and we give them lots of love. They are not display pets. They are our kids. They return our love and affection a lot more than other pets. In truth,every creature is capable of affection. It is just a matter of nurturing it.
