i happened to put a hydrometer in the forarium for no other reason than i had one spare. humidity reads little over 30% and i wondered if i should increase humidity a little or leave dry as possible? maybe add a water bowl over the heat during shedding?
thats fine for when the snake isnt in shed but yes i would move the water bowl further into the middle, or some moss (humidity box) or lightly spray with some water every now and then whilst in shed
if it's a dial one i really wouldn't worry at all.......tbh, i wouldn't worry if it was a digi one either normal room humidity is absolutely fine which is why you'll find most keepers don't bother measuring or monitoring it

oh its just a cheap dial thing but known to be ok as i have used it in incubators. interesting that room humidity is 40% but 33% in the breeder box. i have a theory that the kitchen towel substrate is quickly absorbing vapour and turned in to dry air via the heat mat. it's quite handy to have a bit of humidity to play with in case of shedding difficulties, while being well within a healthy environment for snakey. it might be useful for those trying to decrease humidity to try using the absorbant paper towels. just a thought!
humidity too low?
