Sorry if this has been asked a million times before but i did a search and I couldn't find it. Annnyyway, the humidity in Cuthberts viv over the past couple of days has been sitting at about 45% is this ok? He's not in shed or anything yet but is this still a little low?
Thanks guys

I think humidity is only important during the shedding proccess. I don't check any of my snakes humidity and the all shed fine with a damp flannel on top of hide and they aint dehydrated or anything. I think humidity levels in most houses are ok for the snake

I personally wouldn't stress out about it, mine sit around 30% until they're about to shed, then I boost it to around 75%
