Lowering Humidity?

[c.nash]

Well, I finally received my hygrometer... My humidity is constantly between 80-85%.. I am using Aspen Bedding as my substrate.
He is in shed right now but I need to find a way to get my humidity down once his shed is complete.
I turned on the heat lamp to try to suck up some of the humidity, and it went down from 84% at the time to 83% and hasn't dropped at all.
Any methods you guys use to lower the humidity? Usually people are trying to raise it.
I am in Miami, Florida so it's usually pretty humid here. It's "winter" so the humidity is actually lower than it would be in summer months but I can't seem to get it down.

I'm at a loss as to what to do, I thought aspen bedding dries out the air?

Thanks for your help in advance.

What are you using to measure the hudidity? And what type of enclosure do you have?

I'm using an accurite thermometer with hygrometer.
Current 90 degrees on the hot spot and 76 degrees on the cool side.
The enclosure is a aquarium type with a sliding screen lid.

What is the humidity level in your house? I live in Florida as well and my apartment can easily be 60-70% humidity so it makes it difficult to keep it lower.

In all honesty the humidity isn't bad for them, the average humidity levels in their natural environment is around 80%

If you want to try to lower it you might try running the heat or AC to lower the humidity in your house. Also over a few days it might drop on its own. Don't worry too much.

Alright. I'll watch it. I'll be out of town for 5 days starting tomorrow, so I guess when I get back I will be checking it out.
He should have completely shed by the time I get back as well and he defecated yesterday so I don't think he will until I feed him next (wouldn't eat the last 2 days due to shed)

Thanks again.

Make sure there is plenty of openings for air to circulate and use heat lamps, and that will eventually lower your humidity. It works every time!

More Air flow, relocate water bowl try the cool side corner. smaller diameter water bowl. All will effect humidity.
