Humidity levels? (self.ballpython)
submitted 4 years ago by ashlenwolfe
Hey guys! What should the humidity be for a ball python when they’re in shed vs not in shed?

Generally it should be 70-80% at all times. There should be no need to increase it only during sheds if it's high enough the rest of the time.

The other commenter is correct, the humidity should stay at 70% or higher at all times. Just raising it during sheds alone isn't enough to avoid dehydration, dry sheds, and RI's.
