QuestionWe have a cool mist humidifier. Is it OK to place the humidifier near the snakes home (glass tank with screen top, undertank heater, and heat lamp a few inches from the top), or will this cause a respiratory problem, or some other problem?
PS. We also have a cockatiel in the same room.
AnswerHi Kristi,
that should be fine. make sure you keep a close eye on your temperatures because of your glass tank. glass tanks often have temperature fluctuations and it can be hard to get the right temperature(82-84F).
although the humidifier shouldnt be a problem it may increase the risk of a resp infection so keep an eye out. if your blood python gets a resp infection remove the humidifier and increase the temperatures by 5 or so degrees until the infection goes away.
i hope this helps,
Andy
