Since Eve has been blue, and the humidity around here's been below 30%, I put a humid hide in there for her. She had a perfect shed two nights ago, so I fed her last night (she refused her pinks while blue). But now my problem is she might be *too* wet. Except when she was in her feeding tub, she's been in her humid hide pretty much non-stop for 2-3 days. I know corn snakes can develop blisters if they're allowed to stay too humid. So what should I do? Should I wait another day and a half for her to digest, then remove the hide? Should I disturb her now and risk a regurge?

Oh, and a little more to complicate things: from the advice several members gave me about the oppressive, ineluctable heat that's bearing down on LA right now, I moved her viv to the living room near the air conditioner. But the way her viv is positioned (which I can't change), the place she normally hides is much brighter and exposed, so I think that's why she's chosen this new hide. I wrapped three sides of the viv in aluminum foil to both reflect some light/heat away and make it darker in there for her (the living room is incredibly bright even with all the shades drawn).

Am I just overthinking this? :shrugs:

The extra humidity in the hide shouldn't be a problem for a few more days. Let her digest her meal and then remove the hide.
 
Cool. Thanks, all. I'll wait 'til tomorrow night or the next morning and steal her hide away.
