Things You'll Need
- Plastic containers or terracotta pots
- Plant- or wood-based mulch
- Spray bottle
Instructions
Provide several water bowls such as plastic containers or terracotta pots. Use a covered water container with a hole in the cover. The python can use the covered water bowl as a hide box to soak its skin and humidify the aquarium. Put a water bowl directly under a heat lamp to hasten the evaporation of moisture into the air.
Add plant- or wood-based mulches to the bottom of the aquarium. Mulches retain moisture and allow for more humidity. If you need to add more humidity, spray the mulch directly with water.
Attach a hygrometer to the inside of the aquarium to gauge the humidity. If the humidity is too low add another water bowl or mist the entire enclosure with water. Remove a bowl if the humidity is too high.
