    Humidity and activity relation

    So first off I'm new to this form. I got my bp in october as just a baby.
    I just recently bought a reptifogger which just puts fog/humidity in her tank cause I've really struggled with humidity(I live in southern utah ..hot and dry) but since I got the fogger I've noticed my BP having more activity and I was just curious to see if higher humidity would increase activity in BPs. Thanks for any posts

    Humidity between 40% and 50%. Temp at 85° . I am just using those petco ones that are round and stick on the glass. Probabley not the best. I like her moving around more I'm just curious to see what's causing it. She is all over the place

    wow, how much does the fogger run?

    40%-50% is in the ideal range, I like mine at 60% but 40-50 is fine. I haven't noticed any relation between humidity and activity.

    Can you give us some more details on your cage

    size

    heating method

    hot/cool side temperatures

    substrate

    what you are using to measure temperatures

    when was the last time she ate?

    Re: Humidity and activity relation

    Ohhhh something Aaron doesnt know! Pet Smart has them foggers for like 60 bucks. If you make a really detailed tank, you can make a fog fall. It looks amazing!

    Tank size is a 20 g long I use a heat lamp that has both night and day in one so I can switch between.I'm not sure of the diff between temps on cold and hot side. I feed her every Sunday she just graduated to adult mice. Frozen mice. I use this dirt from petco that floats in water but holds moisture well.I got the fogger from petco for $60 kinda spendy but proves worthy. Sorry I don't know the names of evertything. I could post more detailed when I get home

    sorry guys, I worded that poorly. I meant how often is the fogger running... as in turned on and actively humidifying lol

    ok, I suggest that you get one of these, it costs $12 at Walmart and measures 2 temperatures (hot and cool side) as well as humidity (the dial type are inaccurate and tend to stop working after a month or so)

    It must really be dry there... if I ran a fogger for 5 minutes in my cages it would jump to 99% lol
