Can anyone please help?!?

ANYTIME your using a heat source of any kind...specially during the winter months, you have to replace the moisture in the air that you lose.

True but I don't really have that problem in the Northwest. Humidity in the winter time is almost always very high. But I run an air conditioner in the summer and if the air is already dry the air conditioner makes it that much worse since it acts as a dehumidifier too. Now, back in the Mojave desert, I run a swamp cooler instead. This cools and humidifies. It's so good at humidifying that I usually have to run it with some windows open or it gets too humid in the house.

I'm not sure if this advice is directed at me after my post. I have moisture boxes in with all my corns and my garter has a variation whereby I use a small box with lid which has a little under 1cm of water in it and an access hole in the side. In the box is also a piece of terracotta pot the pot is thick enough to stand proud and remain dry. I look at it that the snakes are able to choose which micro climate they wish to be in. She will spend a reasonable amount of time sat on the terracotta but no where near as much time as the corns spend in their moisture boxes. I also don't use spagnam (sp) moss but I use wool batting (stuffing used in quilts) in the boxes. The wool is organic and chemical free and wool has antibacterial qualities. I clean the wool weekly using very hot water. This has worked for me though I don't know anyone else that does it this way.

no it wasnt

Thanks I didn't know whether you thought I was totally clueless

I'm up for any advice though even if it seems obvious because I like to know I'm doing what I can and we all miss things, even things that should be obvious.

I soak my garters once a week now along with my indigos.

My girlfriend soaks hers in Woolite with like colors. She keeps indigos separate or they'll bleed color onto her garters.

I recommend you use a fabric softener so your garters don't chaff when you wear them Tom.

Whoah.
I Love the idea if using wool as a bedding material with anad as a handspinner with boxes and boxes of fleece around the house im kind of ashamed I never thought of it before!!!
I've got a large tote full of clean waste Lincoln and mohair left over from combing and carding fleeces.
I'm not going to spin it, and I've no plans to felt ir stuff pillows with it, so I think im going to try some as snake bedding before it gets composted.
