Question
My snake seems to be spending more and more time in her water bowl, is this a sign that the humidity level is to low, and do you have any tips as to keeping the humidity level up in a large tank.  Also, what is the ideal humidity level for a boa constrictor imperata.
I Thankyou for your time

Answer
Hello Ben,

This could be a sign of low humidity. If your tank has an open top pick up a piece of clear plastic at your local hardware store, drill several holes in it and put it on top. Misting the tank everyday wilk also help.

The humidity level should be around 65% This will help with shedding and digestion.

If there is anything else I can answer please feel free to contact me again.
