What is a good humidity to keep a ball at normally? What humidity is needed whe shedding? I need definite answers please .

Also, what are good AMBIENT temperatures for the hot/cool side. I have a floor temp of 90 on the hot side and an ambient of 90 as well.

50%-60% humidity. 80-85 air temp 80 ground only on warm side is what I run it works great never hada prob. 90 is too hot.

50-60% relative humidity at all times, 65-75% during sheds sounds about right. 88-92 deg. floor temp. in hot side, room temp (70-74) on other side. Ambient air temp approx. 80-85-ish. Hope this helped, and by no means should you take just one opinion on this, get more.

About 60% is good enough. Air temp should be around 85 degrees during the day and 72 degrees during the night.

IMHO balls are best kept with humidity levels of 50%-60% and slightly higher when in a shed, with a temperature gradient of 80 (ambient/cool) - 90 (warm side). Though they can be kept with a warmer hot spot, I find they don't make good use of it, I find they fare best at these temps. 90 degrees is far too warm to be keeping a snake at unless you are battling an RI. Your snake needs a cool retreat in his home. Hope this helped
