Is having a box of damp vermiculite in my corns viv at all times a good thing to do ?
i have known people who have done this all their corns life, and all their corns are in great condition (inside and out).. but i would like some second opinions

My corn Tobasco don`t have a damp hide at any time at - all. Our petshop reccomended this. Whenever he is about to shed we wait until his eyes are clear then spray him everyday (3 to 4 squirts) and after bout 3/4 days of doing that we give him a lukewarm bath for 10 - 15 mins. We do this every time and every time we get a full shed |

SexyBear77, they have regular checkups by an exotic vet to make sure that the prolonged exposure to a damp humid environment doesn’t effect their respiratory systems.
i think i will take tofus out then until she starts to shed, cheers guys

how do you know the corns are in great condition on the inside? |

if you provide an alternative hide at which ever end of the viv the damp hide is in then yes, if you carefully monitor the snake for skin/respiratory problems you can get away with it.........
although naturally corns don't need the humidity which is why prolonged excess humidy causes health problems |
