Thanks mate 🙂 I'm thinking of doing more of these kind of videos for new keepers coming into the hobby, always good to learn from each other with little tips 🙂
When I told people they can do this to raise their humidity they all bashed me saying wetting the substrate can give them scale rot, what would you tell those people.
Well in the wild they are basically living at 100% humidity. And they spend most of the time over the heat mat which will be dry substrate. I would say they are wrong or misinformed. I've never had a snake with scale rot and always done it this way. If the enclosure has enough ventilation then it will have no issues at all ☺️
I never keep it wet all the time. I don't know if you could see from the video but my Hatchlings that I was spraying down once the video ended, all the substrate was dry after 2 days, but I've never heard anyone say not to spray the bedding down. Unless you keep in a dedicated room where you can keep the ambient temperature perfect and humidity perfect then I can't think of any other way people would do it.
@@BeardyRoyals yea I think most of them are more pet owners who watch snake discovery as opposed to me who watched breeder videos. I got my BPs from Kinova. And it was on Reddit that this happened so I should have known then they were a certain way. Most of them were using a mixture of soil and other stuff as substrate when I told them all they would ever need was a breeder block of cocoblox or reptichip they also disagreed. Glad to know I wasn’t misinforming anyone.
I would imagine if the snake was constantly sitting on soaking wet bedding, then I guess it could lead to scale rot, but I can't say for definite as I've never had this issue. It's wet enough to raise the humidity to the desired amount but not swimming in water. I've been breeding for 4 years now and never had an issue ☺️ oh very nice ! What snakes did you get from him ? Justin has some real quality animals !
@@BeardyRoyals I have not either I’m only a year in but have not had any issues with shedding or scale rot but they did get me a little nervous about it.. I purchased a male Pastel OD YB Enchi Pied 100% het Lavender Albino. And a female Leopard YB Confusion Lavender Albino 100% het Pied
Great information bro 😎
