Hello everyone,
recently took my diamond python to a herp vet to check up on his skin and shedding problems.
I've been sent away with some instructions regarding husbandry,
The main problem is humidity, he must (vets orders) have newspaper substrate, which doesn't hold humidity at all. I'm supposed to be keeping the humidity between 40-60 when not in shed, and much higher when he is in shed. It's currently 30, and misting only makes the newspaper soggy/doesn't help humidity that much.
I'm planning on buying a more reliable hydrometer tomorrow.
I thought about getting a humidifier, but i'm not sure if they are okay to use in a melamine tank, because of the electrical and stuff, has anyone used one?
any advice is appreciated,
Thanks
