    Help Season Change.... Humidity OFF the charts!

    ok i'm be faced with a new problem. My father... (that evil son of a gun) turned off the AC when a cold front came through (thinking it woudln't warm up agian or something.... NEWS FLASH it's FLORIDA!)... the first thing I told him was it was pointless because it's going to get warm again before it gets cold and it take a lot more AC to RE-cool the house as opposed to keeing it cool all the way through. Anyway the cold front is gone all windows are open and my room temperature is 84-86 degrees and the humidity is at 65%??!? How can i lower the humidity??? What can I do? When I got home today and checked my tubs everyone seemed fine (Kole's hum is 63%... I think thats ok?) except for Riley which was stuck at 73%! I immediatly put her in a pillow case and began to drill more (1/2") holes! (about 14 more!) Well after drilling I put her tub on the floor and took a fan that is about 8 in. wide and 3 ft. tall laid it on its side and put it in front of the tub... it's currently 63%... what can I do?

    try doing a search i think this has been talked about before, you could invest in a dehumidifier, or put a fan in the room. all i can suggest.

    Without a fan in the room blowing constantly (except for sometimes to let the humidity come back a little), the humidity in my ball python's tub gets up to 69% in about an hour. A fan will lower the humidity 10 +/- depending on the strength of the fan.

    Re: Help Season Change.... Humidity OFF the charts!

    Mine is always hovering b/t 65% and 70 and a few people said i'd be OK. When i run the fan it gets around to ~65%...

    I was thinking about investing in a small dehumidifier to help things out a little.
