for rosy boas, what should the humidity be? i have read all about them, and I have yet to seen the humidity. also, its true that they can live in a ten gallon, right? thatd be great, cuz I have an empty ten gallon with a snakes name written alll over it

ok, i was looking around online some more, and I read somethign that wasnt too clear, but I think it meant that the humidity is suposed to be 60%? anyone know if its true?

also, i have been hearing to have them in 20gl. but I have also heard a 10gl. would be acurate too, i have a ten gl., and dont know which would be acurate for one.

thanks

I don't knoe exactly what their humidity should be, but I think it should be a LOT lower than 60%

i agree....i have reptile usa magazine at home (i'm at work now) and it has a great article on rosy boas with the basic care sheet. when I get home i'll check it out and re-post

i think I have the same magazine that you have, and I have been, and am looking at right now, but I cant see anything about humidity

well, ive found out more on my good friend called Google. they can be housed in a ten gl, but when they are older a 20gl. so iwas just thinking of getting a 20gl right away when I can, and then the snake.

and they said low humidity.

but, when he/she is in shed cycle, should I raise the humdity, like other snakes, or should I just leave it at what it is?

we allways up the humidity when tolkien sheds....just a little misting,,,and his sheds are allways full and fast !!!

[Amber]

With my Kenyan sand boa (which is needs low humidity like rosy boas) I just give him a humid hide, I don't think you should mist it.

Considering the type of habitat they live in and everything I have read regarding keeping them dry and with very good ventilation I would go with the humid hide.
