    Re: Why need constant humidity?

    I might be in the minority here but I'm not very concerned with humidity. My humidity has ranged anywhere from the low 30s in the winter to the mid 60s during the summer. I've never had a bad shed or RI with any of my critters. I believe as long as your animals have access to fresh water and can stay properly hydrated they'll be fine. I will sometimes mist their cages during a shed or just to give them a little rain effect but that's about it. Even though many of these critters may originate from more tropical places most have been bred in captivity, some for generations, and they've acclimated to their current environments. I could be wrong and if I ever see a bad shed or hear an animal wheezing then I'll raise the temps and humidity but until then it's business as usual.
