    like everyone else has said 50% is A-OK.
    When shed time comes you can take a small pc of sponge and put it in the warm hide to boost up or do the humid hide thing.
    Along with a daily soak of at least 45-60 mins and you should be more than fine.
    You can also get a humidifier for the cage it's self. It's called a TropicAire or we even have a do it yourself one listed on here some where, that you can make.

    Yeah. I should have mentioned that the little cage humdifier wasn't working for me, but I had a sloppy DIY version, and more of the air probably leaked out the top of the jug :P

    The air gets slightly cooler, since I have a cool mist humdifier in the room. However, it doesn't affect his temperatures at all.

    if you are using heat lamps, they will dry out the air. a heatpad or heat tape will help with a humidity problem. also adjusting the ventilation more venting=les humidity/ less venting= more humidity

    I remember someone, I think it was rex, said he put a brick that had been soaked in water in his wood enclosure, and it helped alot. Might give that a try.
