Moss hide
Does anyone use a moss hide out when your snake is in shed?
Thanks, DB

Re: Moss hide
I have one for my Woma, it's just a tupperware container with some sphagum (sp?) moss on the bottom. I keep my ball python's in a rack and that does a good enough job keeping the humidity where I want it that a humid hide is no necessary for them.
Was there something else specific you wanted to know about humid hides?

Re: Moss hide
Yep. I use six-quart containers with a hole cut in the side and damp fake moss. The snakes go in when they're in shed (or need higher humidity). I haven't had any shedding problems doing it this way.

Re: Moss hide
Thank you all for the info. Can you guys hook me up with some pics so I can see what it looks like? This is going to be my second shed and the first one was not so successful, so I would like to make this one a successful shed. She's currently hiding all day all night long, sometimes I even have to touch her to make sure she is still alive Her temps are 90-92 warm end, 78-81 cold, and humidity is between 60-73.
Thanks

Re: Moss hide
I'm at work right now, but I'll try to remember to post pics tonight.
I just use scissors and cut a U-shaped hole, making sure to not go all the way to the bottom (so the moss stays inside). Whenever it gets dry, I just pour more water in, and the moss soaks it all up. I haven't had problems with mold yet, either. Yay!

Re: Moss hide
I don't use them, but if I had troubles with humidity then I would.
