    What is too high for humidity for our BP's???? Today it's been raining outside so the temp outside was nice, so we turned off the A/C and opened some windows. A little later I went to Junior's tank and checked the humidity and it was up to 85. I flipped out. Before it stays around 57-63. I've been trying to get it to drop since then. What is too high, and what will it do to my BP????

    You will need to heat the tank or cage up, so the humidity will drop. IMO 85% is just too high, I think optimum is around 60%. My bp's are kept at 60% sometimes as high as 63%, but I dont feel comfortable letting it get too much higher. You run the risk of them getting an RI.

    85 for a short period of time is fine, just so long as it isnt too long. It does rain in the wild :wink:
    Are you using an aquarium or steralite?
    Do you use any overhead heating?

    Im in Utah (I dont think Ill ever have your problem :wink: )
    If it doesnt drop in the next day or two, then Id start worrying.

    Yea .. green_man hit it on the head. I wouldnt worry too much about it unless it gets into a period of days.
