Re: Sudden humidity problems?
Realistically most ball pythons out there are in aquariums and the humidity isn't regulated. They can be alright in low humidity and if it's really an issue where you can't keep it up, you can spray in the hides to keep the humidity up in there at least.

Re: Sudden humidity problems?
But if theyre supposed to be around 50-60% the it can't be healthy for them to be at only like 20%
I dont want him to get sick I heard low humidity can cause dehydration and RIs

Re: Sudden humidity problems?
Low 20s is pretty low.... If you're really worried then getting a different enclosure is your best bet. I'm actually in the process of building some enclosures partially so that I can control humidity better.
That being said if you don't want to/can't get another cage, there are ways I've read to keep humidity up in the hides. You can put damp moss on the hides and that will keep a more humid for a day or two. Spraying your BP helps too.

Re: Sudden humidity problems?
thanks. Sorry if I sounded snippy or anything
I think I'm going to go to walmart and check out some of those locking tubs for him. I do have some moss in his hide for now

This is absolutely unbelievable!! A versa top in no way will lower your humidity. A fitted glass top that is made to cover your entire terrarium cannot lower humidity percentages. I am not there to witness the actual reading but i have tons of experience with versa tops and it just doesn't make sense.   As a matter of fact , i just recommended versa tops to a acquaintance. She went out and purchased two of them for her two enclosures, I personally set them up and in 1 hour the humidity was at 80% in her 29 gallon and 70% in the 20 gallon respectively. This was about 1 month ago. Her humidity gets so high sometimes that condensation forms on the inner glass.

Re: Sudden humidity problems?
Maybe I should test my hygrometer cause I'm getting readings of 10% with my versa too

Yeah, just double check the percentages with a more accurate hygrometer. Maybe even triple check it. Couldn't hurt.  That hygrometer is wrong.
