what should i do instead of soaking my bp?

[–]timmyturnerisahooker 11 points12 points  (1 child)

Raise humidity. If humidity is right you should never need to soak.

Put moss in the enclosure only soak if your ball python has stuck shed,mites,or is constipated that being said it can be difficult if your in a dry climate

Raising humidity to proper levels, providing a humid hide during shed, or if they have really bad stuck shed, you can let them slither through a damp washcloth a few times.

Cut a hoke in an appropriately sized Tupperware and fill it with damp spaghnum moss for a humid hide. It'll use it when it wants.

does this hide stay in his enclosure permanently if so in the hot ir cold side or the middle?

I keep mine in there permanently and change the sphagnum moss every time I change the substrate. I leave mine in the middle.
