Hi there,

When I first set Fea's viv up with Kritters Crumble the humidity was at 67% but now 3 days on its dropped to 36%.

Is that too low for a Boa?
His water dish is at the cooler side atm.

Thanks

Ideally I'd like to have it a little higher than that but I don't think it will do her any harm having it that low. How are you measuring the humidity as alot of these hygrometers are a bit off.

I'll try that Rob, but i'm wondering if its the substrate. Kritters Crumble is apparently suitable for rainforest setups or desert. If that's the case i'll either have to mist or get a humidier like a fogger along with the controler and I forgot the name Grr lol
