    Humidity question....

    Okay so I was curious so I setup multiple sensors the other day...just cause...

    Cool Side of Tank Air Measure: 81 degrees at 65% humidity
    Warm Side of Tank Air Measure: 88 Degrees at 45% Humidity
    Hot Spot on tank: 105 Degrees at UTH and 92 Degrees at Glass

    Ground Temps with Infrared: Cool Side: 78 degrees on top of substrate
    Hot Side: 90 degrees on top of substrate

    This seems right, but my main concern is the drop in humidity on warm side...

    I don't want to crank up my humidity cause it starts condensating and trying to avoid RI...don't we all.

    Snake eats and doesn't seem stressed. Just looking for warm fuzzy that this is all good.

    As long as you mist when you see a shed coming you will be fine.

    You can also and damp moss to the hides which will give higher humidity where the snake spends most of its time.

    Thats right, i honestly pay no attention to overall humdity where i live, my room gauge temp/humidty says 77 room temp and 50-60% humidty (i dont bother with a humidifier) but i check my buddies daily for now as collection still under 50. And if i notice there is a snake in blue i put a sticker on his tub and just give him a spritz once daily!!! Aswell with the ones on coco husk during shed they get there husk damp/moist as it is, and i let it dry out until next blue, for 2 years not 1 bad shed!
