Posted - 04/06/2012 : 17:42:02 Hi, I bought my first snake today. The glass in the viv has fogged up with condensation. Temp on hotside 28 degrees. Worried viv too humid but don't want to turn heat down. Is this a problem? Please help! |

My tank is a monkfield too. Think I've cracked it now. I had the thermostat sensor too high so think it was too hot in there. Moved sensor so it's touching floor now where mat is and seems to have cleared. Thank you for all ur help guys, I really appreciate it!!! Any ideas when I can start handling him? Should I let him settle in for a week or just a few days?
that would explain him sitting on the cool side |
