Im looking to get a ball python when I move out next week, and your channel had all the info I've been looking for. From humidity, to feeding, and a full setup of the python enclosure: all of these have given me new insight and a better understanding of reptiles! Thank you for that, good sir! And keep doing what you do best!
I'm investigating caring for your bearded dragon and found a fantastic resource at Beardie Tactic Plan (google it if you are interested) | There are many components to caring for some bearded dragons. One resource I found which succeeds in merging these is the Beardie Tactic Plan (check it out on google) it's the most helpful resource i've heard of. Check out the incredible info . | I can across an awesome collection of videos that will help you at Beardie Tactic Plan | I found your video on Beardie tactic plan - there plenty more great videos there that may help out | I'm not sure but ,if anyone else trying to find out bearded dragon lighting try Beardie Tactic Plan (just google it ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my co-worker got cool success with it.
I found that dried moss holds quite a bit of humidity and can help bump it up a bit. Plus it's quite cheap seeing as you can get it at the dollar store if you live near one.
Rather than simply blocking part of the top opening of the enclosure for a screen top/aquarium setup, I’ve had a good experience with placing a clean damp towel over 1/4-1/3 of the top to increase humidity.
It's more humid in my house than what's average. I do have a dehumidifier, but the heat of the heat lamp usually keeps my enclosure dry enough. If it gets too dry I use a small misting squirt bottle to spray distilled water in the enclosure every once in a while.
I just use a humidifier, not a reptile one, in the general room in which I keep my reptiles. I spray them daily, and the humidifier does the rest. As for keeping animals drier, a lamp of some sort (even an incandescent house lamp) does wonders.

Please help- my dumpy frogs tank skyrockets in humidity at night when I turn off their light and heat lamp. It’s supposed to be 40-60 but mine keeps going up to 70-80!!!! PLS HELP I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!
I live in Florida so it's super humid and I have a leopard gecko which is from dry environments. Also I keep him in my basement which just adds to the humidity. I use a dehumidifier to keep the humidity down and it works pretty good but it was like $130.
I recently bought a Kenyan sand boa. I'm using a dry substrate and I haven't been misting it or anything but the little dial thing I bought says the humidity is 65%. Are there other devices I could use to take measurements? I wanna make sure I'm getting accurate readings before I start worrying.
It's getting close to winter and I'm trying to raise the temp for my lepord gecko just a but but that's all done...when I was looking at my thermostat I saw that the humanity was higher then it was supposed to but there is no live plants and only there small water bowl...
If you really want to decrease the humidity, you just need to put a ceramic heat emitter on top of the lid. It will decrease the humidity drastically even more than a regular heat bulb does :)
I have the Monsoon hooked up for my ball python in a 40g tank. Vet just had me increase the intervals to 8 secs every 4 hours. Her humidity went up to a steady 45%.
I have a bearded dragon with reptile carpet, I’m the day time its 95F and 35% humidity on hot side but at night and on cool side it always gets up to 50-60% humidity level, what should I do?
Is the mister good for ball pythons? Cause i never see people have them and people are lazy so why not when your staying down everyday.. It came across my mind so i was wondering lol.
I’m trying to decrease the humidity for a future leopard gecko but I can’t get the humidity lower than 58% and the water bowl is on the cooler side of the enclosure so it don’t evaporate as fast has anyone got any suggestions it has plenty of ventilation points but I’m wondering if it’s because the house may be humid
I have a wooden viv with glass sliding doors on the front. I have two mesh holes in the back for air flow but I struggle to keep the humidity down. I’m also struggling to keep it warm enough. I’m getting 22 Celsius on the cool side and 31 on top of the heat mat. Humidity is 75%! Please help!
It’s weird that they sell a product to increase humidity when you can just spray water in there. I need to figure out how to lower humidity. It’s muggy and hot today so it’s at 70% in my leopard gecko enclosure. I don’t want them to get sick.
GeorgeXVX right people just like it or it gets highlighted... so it’s like this... it’s not the same humidity or temp every second of there everlasting life in the wild... so I’ve just kept an eye on her ... it’s a little humid.. she fine...🤷🏿♂️no scale rot I think the heat helps... obviously ... lol but it would probably be bad if it’s cold and humid
If you wanna lower your humidity fast then just simply turn on your cage light and take out the water bowl till you get a smaller water bowl cause your water bowl is probably to big if it’s rising the humidity in a cage. And after awhile without water bowl in cage and the light on it will lower your humidity.
I have a Chinese water dragon and I i have a repti fogger now because i couldn't keep humidity up now its great for anyone wondering, if it's a tropical animal keep the fogger going all day and night
HELP! My hot side has the prefect temperature including the hotspot but the cool side stays in the low 70s I've tested different water levels and adjusting the heat mat but it doesnt work
I know this is late but I’m having trouble keeping my baby iguana humidity up, she’s in a 50 gallon tank FOR NOW, I have a big water bowl in there with coconut fiber and moss and I spray it down every day and it stays between 50/55 and doesn’t go higher
I have a dwarf boa who is having trouble shedding because of the humidity being low. He has aspen bedding, a big water bowl with a heat lamp hanging over it, and temps stay between 85-92 F and i spray very often so its around 60% but humidity drops quickly shortly after i do, i need some help
Switch to a different bedding! I had this problem when I got my first ball python as well. Aspen is really drying, and wetting it to help with humidity can make it rot. Try cypress mulch (like Forest Floor by ZooMed) or coconut fiber (like Eco Earth by ZooMed). I personally use Eco Earth for both of my ball pythons, and it holds moisture well, drying out after about a month.
I need to seriously decrease humidity in my tank. I got my first ball python yesterday and my reading in my room was temp: 71 and humidity:49.. But my tank had a temp of 78 and humidity of 55.. I tried to increase temp and now humidity is I'm the 70s.. please help I want to lose the humidity. I currently use forest floor substrate and it felt damp when I got it out the bad. is that normal?
I don't know if you've already found the answer, but how do you care for your snake? Do you spray the whole enclosure with water? Do you have live plants or a waterfall? Is the water bowl warming up because of the heat mat or heat lamp (whichever you have). How's the ventilation in the tank? And how is it outside of the tank? Could it be that your water bowl is really light and the snake just pushes it around or digs underneath it which makes it spill water? Just trying to come up with reasons why it's so humid. I hope it helps somewhat
do you have to have both a heat mat and a bulb because my parents don’t want a heat mat because it might burn the snake but i don’t know how i would keep it warm at night
maranda marquez snakes like ball pythons prefer a heat mat rather than a lamp because belly heat is a little more important. If you're worried about the snake being burned then you can get a thermostat that plugs into the heat mat and set it at around 90 degrees or so (adjust if necessary) and place the mat UNDER the glass enclosure, make sure there's about an inch of substrate inside the enclosure to add a little layer of insulation so the snake isn't laying directly on the heat 😊
What about when your snake has mites and you're using paper instead of substrate??? Ive been missing him every hour to keep the humidity because of the newspaper
Well I don't have my leopard gecko yet but for my birthday I'm getting one and I used the echo earth brick and when it was finished it was so moisted so I put a heat lamp over it and it's drying up right now
I need more tips on how to get rid of the humidity somewhat from a banded geckos tank if anyone has tips, we just got him and it's been hot and humid, a bit too much for my little guy
Hi mate. Thanks for helpful video but I spray 4 or 5 times and the humidity jumps up from 50- 80 and when I do get the humidity right the humidity drops very quickly. I must be doing something wrong. I have to spray it every 20 mins to get it right. I need to go out to work and have to leave the snake on his own for hrs. So this is frustrating. Any tips
Does anyone know if essential oils would hurt a ball python? I have an old humidifier that I used to put essential oils in to add some nice scents into my room and I was wondering if any residue of essential oil would hurt the snake?
How do i get my humidity higher than 40°. We have a 40Gallon tank & we've use a container and water still didn't bring it up. Tried covering the top with water & container & still didn't work. Need help!!
What are good ways to decrease the humidity? I'm in Michigan and I'm planning to get a ball python. It will be in a tank, but in the tank the humidity stays around 70% to almost 90%. I keep fans on and the air conditioning and outside of the tank it's around 50% humidity. I use forest floor bedding and I know it keeps in humidity so I removed a lot so there isn't much in there but the humidity doesn't decrease. I use a heat pad that gets the the warm side to the basking temperature which is around 85-90 and sometimes use a light but not much and the cool side is around 75-80.
Vanessa best thing to do is completely change the bedding. Aspen works great as its quite absorbent and very cheap. Ventilation in your actual room is important so keep a window open as much as possible. If you don't have your Python yet leave the enclose lid/ doors open and turn off you heat mat often especially if it's warm in your house. Ball pythons don't really need both heat sources so you can choose one which is best for you. Make sure you get a thermostat though :)
Tateandfennell Thanks for the help! I'll keep it in mind when the humidity raises again, but the humidity is under control now. And I did get my Python on July 2nd his name is Monty. He's about 6 or 7 months and the humidity stays at 45%-60% and I do raise it when needed.
I have a corn snake, and bearded dragon. But I'm getting a new Royal python in 2 weeks, can you recommend a snake tank size for me, it's about 500 grams in weight.
So I'm thinking about making a reptile room in my basement and my basement is new and kinda cold. Is this a bad idea because of the coolness in my basement or is it fine? I'm planning on getting tropical and dessert reptiles and amphibians as well.
Pazix Vids Just make sure you use proper heating methods like heat lamps, heat pads, ceramic bulbs, etc. preferrably using timers to ensure you keep temps right :)
It’s too high. Their humidity should be around 30-40%. A great way to lower humidity is to buy a small cheap fan that blows over top of the lid. Another way to decrease humidity is to get a mesh lid or take the lid off completely
TokeDenOP It really depends on the animal you have. I have a corn snake so he dosent need a high humidity constantly for he comes from deserts. So when he's in shed or showing signs of being in blue I spray his viv with water just once a day. My viv has vents which stops it from getting too damp.
TokeDenOP Okay buy a hydrometer for each tank and try and keep the humidity at 50% and 70% when they shed. Spray the water when needed but not on the side where the heat source is. If the tank gets too damp air it out and don't spray. Good luck :)
TokeDenOP Which side does your snake hang out most? If you can't decide you can put it anywhere, as long as it's near the bottom of the tank as that's mostly where your snake will be surrounded by the humidity. You also will need to be able to see it of course ! :)
Hey buddy. Just ask them nicely and have them watch some beginner reptile care videos with you so that it can be a bonding experience. Tell them you want to do it with them as a project to bring you closer together. If they still say no, unfortunately there is nothing you can do. It doesn't take too long to become an adult. I promise it will be okay. :)
@@GwenISayJump I've always wanted a snake and no matter what videos I showed them or how much research I did they'd never let me get one. They got me a guinea pig when I was a young kid but not a snake. Now that I'm almost moving out, my guinea pig has passed by now and I've probably been asking for almost 10 years. Some just won't budge. I'll definitely be getting one when I move haha
Where is the how to decrease humidity section? All I see is how to prevent creating more humidity, not decreasing it. It's been humid and muggy naturally for weeks. Not spraying the terrarium doesn't decrease humidity.
I put my snake in the bathroom while i take a hot shower so he getes steamed but only while he is in blue and its only somtimes when i think he needs it

I love how u censored petco on that hygrometer
@Qurahn petco bad
u ruined it tho, didnt u ? lol
you can also put a wet towel on top of the cage. this helps with humidity and it's cheap
genesis mateo it works but the towel gets smelly after the 2nd day
I just put a water bowl in my beardy’s cage and that helps
omg thank you this helped me so much
Wow, thanks
Chris Hovnanian does that lower the humidity or does it make it higher?

I'm going to try this because my beardies humidity stays at 50 😭 I want to cry im frustrated for Him
I loooooooove ur vids. They r so helpful
Jack Maurer true
Thank you :)
we are using a 30 gallon tank with zoo-med snake substrate so kind of a moderate enclosure
Nice video it was really helpful
Damn my tank is still too humid the tank itself is a little on the cooler side at 80 and 90 in the hide but humidity is near 80 and idk what to do
Facetious Times me too😪
@DankDucky add substrate made to hold it without molding
I have the Monsoon hooked up for my ball python in a 40g tank. Vet just had me increase the intervals to 8 secs every 4 hours. Her humidity went up to a steady 45%.
We have a BP and a 40 gallon and have been struggling with the humidity. We may have to purchase one of these. His is sticking around 48%
ayy does anyone think that I can use a small pc fan to suck the humidity out the the tank faster? (I have a kenyan sand boa)
i saw people doing that, just make sure the snake can't hurt themself
thank you :D
Da Majestic Muffin ya put screen over it
Da Majestic Muffin I'm here for the same reason. I like that idea
I just watched another video that says to put some rice in a sock and put it in the tank. The rice will soak up a little humidity.
Different substrates can increase humidity alot. Some hold water alot better than others
I have a bearded dragon with reptile carpet, I’m the day time its 95F and 35% humidity on hot side but at night and on cool side it always gets up to 50-60% humidity level, what should I do?

My corn snake has 80% humidity on the middle level of my house would it help to move it up a level?

I love your videos thanks a lot
During summer it’s very humid how can I decrease it?
I have the same issue and i either get "meh its fine" or some other stupid fucking comment like my pets health is a joke.

Ohhh and in summer days are longer thus leaving day light on longer helps keep humidity down and at night it’s more humid...
You probably give the best at giving info on reptiles on RUclips tbh! Thank you!!(: people need to be more educated on reptiles 🦎

Our reptile digger produces way too much humidity in our cage even on the lowest setting... any help for that?
hey, i need help decreasing my humidity...any ideas ??😬

I’m a little late to this video, but how can I make a rough guess of the humidity without a gage or anything? I haven’t had the chance to buy one yet
Great video alex😊👍🏼
Thanks!
I have a Chinese water dragon and I i have a repti fogger now because i couldn't keep humidity up now its great for anyone wondering, if it's a tropical animal keep the fogger going all day and night
Can we see a video on what supplies you use specifically for your ball python?
So for a Crested Gecko could I just put safe water in a clean bottle and spray it in his tank?
How often do I do this. Like every 20 minutes or 50 hours. How fast does humidity decrease
HELP! My hot side has the prefect temperature including the hotspot but the cool side stays in the low 70s I've tested different water levels and adjusting the heat mat but it doesnt work
You could try a ceramic heat emitter on the cool side to raise the ambient temperature.

have you ever bred green anoles? I find it kinda fun
+Lil'Sean18 No, but maybe I'll get around to breeding something someday :)
+GoHerping cool
I just got a leopard gecko and the humidity gauge keeps saying 70% and I can’t get it to go down to 30% what do I do
What type of substrate are you using?
Reptile carpet
Same here. Any answer?
I use eco earth for mine but all you have to is just watch it and take off the lid for a few minutes and put it back on.
Yeah my humidity was 10 percent for a couple of days for my beardie should I be worried?
I would not worry about if does ever happen they don't need too much attention when it comes to that but try not to let it happen

If you don't have your Python yet leave the enclose lid/ doors open and turn off you heat mat often especially if it's warm in your house. Ball pythons don't really need both heat sources so you can choose one which is best for you. Make sure you get a thermostat though :)
Tateandfennell Thanks for the help! I'll keep it in mind when the humidity raises again, but the humidity is under control now. And I did get my Python on July 2nd his name is Monty. He's about 6 or 7 months and the humidity stays at 45%-60% and I do raise it when needed.
Vanessa Great! You're welcome. Best of luck :)
I have a leopard gecko. Need help
Is there a chance that the humidifier will shatter a heating lamp?
nice
I have a corn snake, and bearded dragon. But I'm getting a new Royal python in 2 weeks, can you recommend a snake tank size for me, it's about 500 grams in weight.
The snake is about 500 grams in weight *
Nightingale I'm pretty sure a royal python is a ball python so 40 gallon or more is best for an adult
i see that petco label smh :P
forgive me for my sins
So I'm thinking about making a reptile room in my basement and my basement is new and kinda cold. Is this a bad idea because of the coolness in my basement or is it fine? I'm planning on getting tropical and dessert reptiles and amphibians as well.
Pazix Vids Just make sure you use proper heating methods like heat lamps, heat pads, ceramic bulbs, etc. preferrably using timers to ensure you keep temps right :)
GoHerping thanks! This will help a lot
With the fogger, does it make the substrate damp?
Alden Karp yes it does I keep mine over the water bowl to avoid direct contact with substrate but it will ploom over onto the substrate
Can the humidity drop below the normal 50%-60% overnight for a ball python?
Ilovelazers that should be okay as long as it's only during the night.
a sick humidifier which is pretty much made for tropical tanks. zoomed reptirain
My geckos tank is around 50% is this too high or might it be ok? I can't get the humidity to go down.
It’s too high. Their humidity should be around 30-40%. A great way to lower humidity is to buy a small cheap fan that blows over top of the lid. Another way to decrease humidity is to get a mesh lid or take the lid off completely
@@tonyflamingosucks6590 I might try getting a fan to put on top and I have a mesh lid.
Tyler C did you see my reply?
I live in England and am struggling to decrease the humidity. Any advice?
A room dehumidifier, or ceramic heat emitting bulbs which dry enclosures out well
@@GoHerping okay thank you, I will try this ☺️
How often should i spray with water?
TokeDenOP It really depends on the animal you have. I have a corn snake so he dosent need a high humidity constantly for he comes from deserts. So when he's in shed or showing signs of being in blue I spray his viv with water just once a day. My viv has vents which stops it from getting too damp.
I had to corn snakes. And a ball python.
TokeDenOP Okay buy a hydrometer for each tank and try and keep the humidity at 50% and 70% when they shed. Spray the water when needed but not on the side where the heat source is. If the tank gets too damp air it out and don't spray. Good luck :)
Shall I set the hydrometer in the hot site or the cold site?
TokeDenOP Which side does your snake hang out most? If you can't decide you can put it anywhere, as long as it's near the bottom of the tank as that's mostly where your snake will be surrounded by the humidity. You also will need to be able to see it of course ! :)
how did you get your parents to let you i because i love animals:especially reptiles so can you do a vid?
Hey buddy. Just ask them nicely and have them watch some beginner reptile care videos with you so that it can be a bonding experience. Tell them you want to do it with them as a project to bring you closer together. If they still say no, unfortunately there is nothing you can do. It doesn't take too long to become an adult. I promise it will be okay. :)
@@GwenISayJump I've always wanted a snake and no matter what videos I showed them or how much research I did they'd never let me get one. They got me a guinea pig when I was a young kid but not a snake. Now that I'm almost moving out, my guinea pig has passed by now and I've probably been asking for almost 10 years. Some just won't budge. I'll definitely be getting one when I move haha
Where is the how to decrease humidity section? All I see is how to prevent creating more humidity, not decreasing it. It's been humid and muggy naturally for weeks. Not spraying the terrarium doesn't decrease humidity.
Hey Alex, my snake is in shed should i keep the humidity high or low??
Keep it on the higher side to help soften up the skin :)
GoHerping Ok thanks!
GoHerping Hey Alex, how long does it take for a snak to shed??.. I found out on Wednesday and she hasn't shed yet
DarkKiller1 5 im sure you know by now but its up to 2 weeks. 1st tye eyes are blue opaque then disappear for week then shed
Is that the reptifogger that you got when you went dumpster diving?
hi I'm hoping to get a Mojave ball python or a super pastel axantic ball python any tips other then this vid lol
Hillary ishere Don't kill it
andone01red xD 11/10 advice
GoHerping how much humidity should my ball python have?
50-60 percent
I think if you keep humidity too high sometimes mold and fungus can grow in your tanks
+Lil'Sean18 That's definitely a possibility
*blurred PetCo logo*
but y tho?
lazy gizmo bc youtube is youtube
how can i lower the humidity, i think its because her cage is right next to the shower
Move the enclosure away from the shower..? Then I'm sure you'll be fine
+GoHerping i did,it now fluctuates between 57 to 73
Practical please
Which is a pain
Putting a wet tail on top of the enclosure. This only works if the top is a screen.
SGReptiles u don’t say
I put my snake in the bathroom while i take a hot shower so he getes steamed but only while he is in blue and its only somtimes when i think he needs it
