She’s looking great and growing fast! This is an interesting question. I will preface by saying that I do not keep this species. However, based on its natural distribution, I would assume a Burm would thrive in a higher humidity environment. Of course, we know they are a hardy species and highly adaptable, but I looked up weather forecasts in many of the places in their natural range and it seems humidity in the 70’s would be perfectly appropriate.
I think “50-60%” is probably an average that was agreed upon based on the fact that they can be found in a variety of habitats (grasslands, rainforest, etc). But for a species that hails from Southeast Asia and outlying islands, my instinct would be to replicate humidity levels naturally found in those regions. Again, I don’t keep burns, so if someone chimes in with contradictory advice, that in no way hurts my feelings.
Also, is there a specific reason for the baths?
