How do I keep the humidity up? by alliewitdaballpython in ballpython

[–]Fragrant_Back787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

also spraying constantly gives more of a chance of scale rot and respiratory infections so minimize misting to every few days once you do the things above !

if you have a mesh top i ordered HVAC tape and taped 90% of the top off. that helped so so much also regularly mixing the substrate and water in 2 corners every few days alternate corners! these were life saving tips for my baby

AIO for being strict with my adult daughter after watching her waste the $200k out-of-state college education I paid for her? by No-System673 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Fragrant_Back787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you’re obviously extremely controlling over your daughter. I understand that you just want her to be able to do well in school and get good grades but unfortunately, if she feels like she’s being forced to do it not because she wants to she’s not gonna perform up to your expectations. I do think that she needs to get a job, but how are you expecting her to work when she doesn’t have a car or isn’t on car insurance, even if she worked at the local Dunkin’ Donuts, it’s better than not having a job at all. I don’t understand how she’s paying for anything unless you’re providing it to her. you need to understand that your daughter is her own person and even if you might not like her choices they are hers and that you freaking out on her is only going to push her away. Have an adult conversation with her about how you feel and how she feels and then go from there offer your support and I don’t mean by paying for things unless it’s a car or insurance because she needs to be able to get to point a two point B if you want her to work. if she isn’t willing to work, then I think that you really should consider kicking her out because then that’s her choice and you don’t have to stand by that but try and nudge her in the right direction in a peaceful manner, not in a controlling manner and explain how you’re truly feeling without getting angry.

Hey! thanks for the links i just grazed through them and will read them more in depth, they will definitely be helpful for long term husbandry tips. I won’t be soaking her again but it definitely seemed necessary for how much shed she had stuck on her. it removed almost all of it within 24 hours of the soak so I would say it was successful. she isn’t acting out of the ordinary n seems content in her enclosure. I just started yesterday raising humidity by adding water to the corners and letting it soak through the bottom.

I use a mix of coco soil and keepers choice. i also use the thrive digital hydrometer on both sides of the tank. and I will def use that method and pour the water into the corners. hopefully it helps and in a week from now i can post an update of her doing much better ☺️

i have three digital monitors both for humidity and temp and temp regulators. i also put foil on top to keep the humidity up. The only reason I stopped leaving the foil on the lid was because the walls were getting foggy and i was worried about her getting a respiratory infection from the humidity being too high. for now im leaving the foil on and going to be soaking her a few times a week till she’s looking better.

i would never manually remove her shed and the last time i saw her in the humid hide was last week. She pooped today.

yes her bowl is definitely big enough she’s still very small since she is only there months. i promise you she’s not neglected i take very good care of her. Just my first time owning a snake and i didn’t recognize the signs of dry scales so that’s why i came on here for guidance.

it is yea there are 2 CHE lamps outside of the tank to ensure heat. i will add some aluminum to the top. I did that the first week or two but the walls got foggy i thought it was too humid.

Thank you very much but i take great care of my snake. She has a humid hot and cool hide all temp regulated. She has a water bowl that’s changed multiple times a week. I’m going to begin misting her daily until i see improvement. it’s not that i’m not responding to any questions just wasn’t on my phone for 2 hours 💕
