 Respiratory Infection

Hey,
Okay i have 4 questions:
1. If my snakes humid hide is at 80% humidity will it get respiratory infection right away or will it get it if exposed to weeks of 75% humidity or more??


2. Should my humid hide be on the the hot or cold side??

3. If I have a humid hide (60-70% humidity in hide) how low can the humidity out side of the humid hide go??

1. no, as long as your provide it with 3 hides (1 humid, 1 cool, and 1 warm) it will be fine.
2. it doesn’t really matter.
3. 50-60%

I just have a heating pad(with thermostate) on 24/7. I used to have overhead heat but it was messing up the humidity.

yes to 40% as long as it uses its humidity hide. wouldnt worry about respirtory infection too much as long as it doesnt spend all day in the hide. if you use red bulbs make sure they are red glass not just painted otherwise they dont do the job properly.
