    Re: At what point is it TOO humid?

    Additional question... I have my beep in a glass terrarium with a screen lid. Hot temp is 88-90 F and the cool temp is 80-83 F. I live in a pretty humid part of Texas, where the humidity in our house is about 80% in the summer months. Is this too high of humidity for her? Should I get a dehumidifier for the room where I keep her?

    Thanks in advance!

    In the region where they live, it can be pretty humid during the wet season. I wouldn't worry about it as long as the substrate isn't actually damp. Damp substrate can cause mold or scale rot, but it's not a problem if it's just humid. If the temperature suddenly drops you'll get condensation, but that's more likely to be a problem in the rest of your house than in your snake's cage because your snake's cage is heated.

    As long as their not constantly on wet substrate you should be fine. I wouldn’t worry about an enclosure that’s dry with high humidity.
