Goodness yes, 70% would be too humid for a cornsnake...I can't find where that high a humidity level was mentioned in this thread as the target level for the corn...did I miss something? ... I thought the idea for the corn was just to raise it to be stable somewhere a little above 35%...I used to keep mine between around 45 and it seemed to do pretty well for shedding purposes


Glad you were able to boost it a bit Tippmann357. Just make sure it doesn't go too high as Bitis pointed out.

Oh yes, thanks Marsha. I think I'm too tired today, and not seeing or remembering clearly. I should have remembered that was there

Sorry I think I missed something too, I didn't see the part about the higher humidity levels being for your boas, forgive me!
