    need help with humidity please!

    So my house is naturally at about 60%-70% humidity. Is this too high for my bps tank normally? I read that it should be about 50%-60% normally, and 60%-70% when shedding. Is this okay for her?

    I would try using either a ceiling fan or oscillating fan to circulate the air. Alot of times this will help bring down the humidity. Another option is to get a dehumidifier

    Just turn on your ceiling fan and you will be fine. 65ish% is fine. My tubs now are around 65%. I shoot for 85%+ while shedding.

    do you use tubs or a tank? a heat lamp will suck out some humidity if you are using a tank.

    I'm using a tank. No heat lamp. And I don't have a ceiling fan to lower the humidity.

    You can get a small fan and point it near his set up.

    A fan will probably also take heat out of the tank, be careful you don't make the tank too cool.
