Humidity Levels from a vets website.

I was looking at random things online and came upon this. What Is the lowest humidity should truly go? thought they should NEVER fall under 50% but am I wrong??



Environmental Requirements for Some Snake Species

As a best practice, sure. However...

this would be a huge relief for me, since my humidity likes to teeter around 40-50

I'm really struggling with humidity which I thought would never be the case in Ga!

30-70? Sounds like what the person was saying is "I'm not actually sure where the right level is, so somewhere in this very average range should be totally fine". 30% is desert humidity, 70 is subtropical, not a lot of animals are going to need that large a range. I keep mine between 55-65, going up higher when I notice a snake is about to shed. Bad sheds aren't fun...

I have... no idea what my humidity is. My animals are hydrated, eat and shed well and have for the past year. Clearly, whatever it is, is okay. I live in the south though and it *is* humid here, but that range can be all over. Personally, if you're not seeing URIs, bad sheds, food refusal or dehydrated snakes I wouldn't stress it.
