Steve-o just went into blue. My question is what range should I keep the humidity at in his viv ? I put in a humid hide which he has yet to use. I plan to cover the warmer half with saran wrap to keep in the humidity. I'm just not sure what level to keep the humidity at. This is our first shed.

It piss me so bad.
If things are going well with your snakes, you really shouldn't have to do anything to increase humidity. I never even give my corns humidity hides, but I also live in Texas which couldn't be more humid. And I'm really not sure what it is like there in Pennsylvania, but putting in the humid hide certainly won't hurt.
The snakes should normally have humidity around 40-50%. Of course, increasing that by around 10% will never hurt to do during shedding periods.
I honestly wouldn't be too concerned if I were you, and I don't think I'd pull out the saran wrap just yet. If you'd like to monitor humidity, go out and buy a gauge. Also make sure the heat is working properly. Otherwise, everything should go well.

He'll use the humid hide if he needs it. I wouldn't worry about it otherwise - you may be trying to solve a problem that you don't have. All of mine are in a centrally-heated flat in the UK, probably with very little ambient humidity (I don't even monitor it). I can't remember when I last had a bad shed and I rarely even give them humid hides.
In your place, this time round I'd just wait and see what happens, then tweak things for his next shed if there's an issue.
