What is the best substrate to use for crawl cay, sonoran, tarahumara and vera cruz dwarf boas? One of these will be my 3rd snake and am doing my research. Also, how do you give them the required 50% increasing to 65% during shedding, what's the best or easiest way to do this?
Thank you

I just have mine on kitchen roll.

No need to do anything as normal room temp humidity is around 50% I think. To increase during shedding you can use a moist hide :) Although mine shed fully in one piece withut any increased humidity.

Yep, I don't mess with humidity until those eyes go blue, then they get a nice damp face cloth.
