In this section, we will delve into the importance of humidity for snakes and discuss common issues that arise from incorrect humidity levels.

• Understanding the Importance of Humidity for Snakes

Humidity is a measure of the amount of water vapor in the air. For snakes, the right level of humidity helps them stay hydrated and aids in the shedding process.

Alright guys let’s get this started. So the question you’re asking is “Do I really have to mist my enclosures every day to keep humidity up?” The answer is NO! And I’m here to walk you through my process of High Maintenance Avoidance (HMA)! In my opinion, high maintenance is the number one reason people end up neglecting or rehoming their animals quickly. You just burn out from having to do all this stuff all the time. So I’m here to help.

- A good substrate for humidity

- A knife of some kind/and or scissors (if you like to be super tidy. If that doesn’t matter, disregard this)
