I am in south florida and the humidity is always above 90%. I have them on pine shavings with a large water bowl, between that and the humidity I didn't expect them to have a problem with moisture. The wet moss nest box idea sound like a great solution and I will try it right away. Thanks

: Solid advice from Robyn (and a tasty pic-thanx) but let's stress the pretty humid part. A clump of damp newspaper/moss/whatever is a necessity to keep these guys hydrated. In fact, you'll find the snakes in the damp stuff about half the time. I keep a dry side in the cage and a clump of damp shredded newspaper on the other for my Nigrofasciatus. Jeff
