How To Keep My Brazilian Rainbow Boa's Tank Humid and still be cool?

Question

My tank is constantly 95-89 degrees hot and cold side...i have a heating pad underneath with a infared red heat lamp on top...but my cool side never goes down to where i want it to be which is 75. how can i keep it humid in my tank and be cool on the cool side? i feel its way too hot in there for him. my room is on the 2nd floor so its hot in my room as it is. what should i do?

Answer 1

mist the cage or put a fogger on for 30 minutes every day. also put carpet bedding over the cage and it keeps it humid. it's how i keep my jungle carpet pythons cage humid

Don't bother with the heat lamp it is causing your cage to get too hot the under tank heat pad is enough heat you also need to mist the tank often as they require lots of humidity also try a very large water bowl big enough that he can crawl in and soak here is a care sheet for you .

I have a Boa myself.  First of all, get rid of the heating pad.  Ever heard of the frog in slow boiled water?  What I do is just keep the snake in a cage that doesn't have a lot of air flow so humidity automatically rises.  Next, if humidity is still to low, just spray the sides of the cage all over once every day, don't spray the snake though.  I also put many water bowls in the cage; to raise humidity and for the snake to drink and soak.
