Hey everyone,

I was reading up in "The Boa Constrictor Manual" trying to locate a page on humidity, and couldn't find one. I have a melamine tank so I know it won't be too hard to maintain, but my question is, how high should the humidity be in the enclosure? The setup is really put together well, and I have a humidity gage, I just don't know what it should be. Could someone give me sime ideas?

Thanks, Bone

I've read elsewhere that at least 50% is required, and 60% or greater is good. I've had good luck getting my humidity up by placing the water bowl over (or under if you're using CHE or incadescent bulbs) the heat source. Voila, instant humidity! :)

go to the weatherchanels web site and you can check what the weathers like in the country it came from even if its captive born I still think that would be the best guide
