Re: humidity!

One possible way is to put a large water bowl directly over the heat source for faster evaporation.

Re: humidity!

What type of snake do you have 80% sounds kinda high for a python.

Re: humidity!

Hot spot about 90 and I think 80% is good exwizards suggestion is good I do the same with all my snakes in the rack and soak him after the eyes clear up means shed is going to happen in a few days

Re: humidity!

Do not soak the snake in anything. If you have your husbandry correct you should never even have to soak your snake in water. Please leave it alone in order to not stress it out. I replied to your PM...

Re: humidity!

If your humidity is good, there is no need to soak your snake in water, soap, or anything else.

Re: humidity!

I NEVER soak my snakes, their husbandry is correct and they all shed perfectly. 80% during shed is perfect for a Royal, drop it down to 65% (ish) once he has shed until his next shed then bump it up again
