    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

So, I have a new pine snake baby, and I'm worried that the humidity in his enclosure is too high. It's around 55%-57%, which is the ambient humidity in my apartment (yay Miami humidity lol). I can't seem to find a straight answer about what the humidity levels need to be from the caresheets I've read - one said between 40% and 60%, another said below 50%, and most just say 'low' - so I wanted to ask here to see if anyone had a definite answer for me.

If it is too high, I'll invest in a heat lamp + stand or something instead of an UTH to dry out the air, but I'm tight on funds and I don't want to do that if it's not necessary.
 
A screen lid with ambient humidity is usually fine. Pine snakes range from New Jersey to Guatemala - if you have a little more info on the lineage of your animal we can probably make a better suggestion.
 
cool, thanks! I'm actually not sure what his lineage is; I think he's a Northern, but I'm not entirely sure.

Here's a picture of him, if that helps.

That is a baby northern. Ambient humidity is fine. No heat lamp. This species like it on the cooler size. I have a group of 8; they are very simple snakes to keep. They have voracious appetites.
