not really about corn snakes so sorry to post here but the gecko forums SUCK!
Ive recently got a crestie and having a little trouble with the humidity levels
they sit at around 85-90% which is too high, but the leaves etc need to be wet for him to drink off of.
any ideas to lower the humidity? |

Is the orchard bark wet, that's more of a substrate that's used for snakes needing high humidity an could be the cause of it. How are u measuring at as most don't bother measuring humidity for corns as its not needed to be maintained at a high level

| Is it a wooden viv? Sometimes if there isn't enough airflow in the viv the moisture has not way to escape. |

Are you just spraying once at night? or more? as they are nocturnal thats when they will drink. If you have absorbant substrate, this will keep humidity high. 18 is a bit too cold, 20 is better, but only just.
And weird that on a crestie forum you dont get a response!
And more important, why have we not had pics of your crestie? |
