Let humidity drop to 10-20% and only bump it to 50-60% when about to shed (success)

I appreciate the criticism, thanks for all the feedback. Perhaps the reason I'm not getting bad sheds or any problems is that indoor humidity never gets to < 30-40, even though outside is 10-15. Or perhaps reptichip is keeping it above 50%. I've had many good sheds and all animals are doing fine.

Is it possible that we are over estimating the importance of constant humidity?

Apparently the OP doesn't even have a digital hygrometer anyway and is just totally guessing LOL. Pointless thread.

Hi everyone, heated topic! According to the hygrometers I got, humidity in the house is 30%, inside the reptile room is 15% (I have an oil heater on, might be that), but to my surprise humidity inside the unmisted tubs is never below 30%. It must be the water bowl or just the reptichip really holding onto whatever is left. Blood python tubs are around 70% (I mist twice a week) and my GTP 60-85% (I mist every day and they're not in a rack).

So to continue on my experiment, I'll keep one rack at 30% and allow it to go lower, and the other rack I'll keep misting once a week which should bump humidity to 50-60%.

I'll update with results in a few days. Thanks for all the comments.
