    hognose humidity

    so looking on other websites no one gives actual parameters for humidity they just say “low humidity” like, doesnt that mean 10%? 20? 30? 50? anyways im trying to figure out what the parameters are cause as of right now the lowest i can get my humidity is 37% constant (i can drill more holes if need be)

    Drill some more holes, right around 30% should be fine, i think.

    20% to 30%, 50% is too high and could create health issues, so basically you average home humidity will do the trick.

    I live in the south and usually humidity is hardly an issue during the year it's basically average home humility year round and I never have to boost it or try to reduce it, I would not worry too much about it.

    so is 37% safe or is it a bit too high?

    It's gonna be fine, what you don't want to see is condensation in the tub or your substrate getting soggy and moldy.

    oh no, im nowhere near that aha. there’s probably at least 30 air holes now and ceiling fan on high so there should be ample circulation too.
