How To Add Humidity To A Snake Tank?

Writer Robert King

How do I add humidity to my ball python tank?

You can help keep your cage’s humidity levels in check by spraying it with room-temperature water once or twice a day. If you want to use a fine mist, opt for a pressure sprayer or a hand-held bottle. The animal, substrate, and cage walls should be lightly misted.

What happens if ball python humidity is too low?

Long-term shedding problems can be caused by low humidity levels of less than 45 percent (e.g. stuck shed). As a result of a ball python’s inability to shed its skin, the reptile is at risk for a variety of health issues. Patches of stuck shed, particularly around the eyes, may result, causing blurry vision or even blindness.
