    Humidity

    Is 75-80% humidity dangerous over a long period of time?

    I'm actually having trouble keeping humidity down!

    Re: Humidity

    Hi,

    As long as you stay on top of the cleaning to prevent bacterial or mold build up I think it should be ok?

    Re: Humidity

    What type of tank do you have your BP in? how close is your water bowl to the warm side?

    If its in a tub, drill or melt (more?) holes into it. Your bedding might be causing high humidity as well. Try switching to paper towels if your not using it already and see how it gos.

    It's in a tub right now and the water bowl is on the cool side. Also I have it on aspen. I'll melt more holes in it tomorrow and see if that helps. Thanks.
