    How much is too much humidity?

    Now that we've got temps right at long last, I want to work on humidity. Without the CHE, it's MUCH easier to keep humidity levels up, so I want to make sure they're not *too* high. It's been hovering above 70 but below 80 for the most part. Is this too high? Should we bring it down into the 50-60 range?

    Also, how much ventilation is enough? We've got four rows of 1/8 inch holes drilled in the front and two rows in the back. Since we're not having a problem keeping up humidity, maybe we should consider adding more ventilation?

    Thanks!

    Wonderful. Thank you! We're taking him out for his first handling tonight, so I'll drill while Carey handles.
