I have had my first beardie spyro for 4 days now and already the whole family loves him so much. But i have a few questions at night after i turn all the lamps off the temp goes down (never gets down past 70) the humidity goes up how do i stop that from happening? How do i know when hes ready for us to pick him up? And whats a good schedule to put a baby beardie on?

If the temp drops lower than that I'd look at getting a Ceramic Heat Emitter for heat at night.
If you are manually turning off the lights I would recommend looking into some automatic timers. Then the little guy gets consistent lighting/heating, which is good as they like routine.
What is your setup like? Maybe you need better venting?

You may need to look at a dehumidifier

I don't know how good this one is but here's an example

I have one set outside my cage. I really don't know how effective it will be if yours is in an open area. Is the cage near a bathroom, kitchen or fish tank? You might need an electric one. I probably would not put it in the cage. If you really need to you might put it in during the night only but even then I wouldn't want to risk it getting opened since there are little absorbing beads in those.
That could help but the humidity must be the way your house is. I wouldn't put the fan too close. Is there any sand or wood that is absorbing moisture maybe? You could try this, put the dehumidifier on top of the cage at night (assuming you have a screen on top) and see if there's any change. Then I'd try the fan. Then I'd try using a CHE at night, but not too warm, maybe get it no higher than 75 in there. See if any of those work. I haven't dealt with humidity much so hopefully others will chime in.
