Humidity Control

MsMiaWallace · Jun 25, 2017

Hi all,
I'm a new beard owner and during the summer where I live gets humid so the humidity in my viv fluctuates. How do I keep it at a good level? I've considered buying a dehumidifier but I want to see if theres an easier way. I've removed her water bowl and it still fluctuates. Please help I know humidity can cause respiratory problems so I need to know if theres any tricks or if I should invest in the dehumidifier?

Hi,
What are your humidity levels currently at? They should move between 30%-40%. Also whats your lighting like? Usually the stronger bulbs lower humidity.

I keep seeing posts where folks have been given poor advise about suitable temperatures and suitable relative humidity in the vivs.

Unless you live a long way from the ocean or any large lakes , is near impossible to get mid 30s % relative without using silica gel type dehumidifiers , IMO unnecessarily worrying.. I see relative humidities in the range 50% - 80% inside my home in summer even with the aircon running 24/7. This is not a problem.

Right now humidity is at 50% in the viv. Both bulbs are at about 100v.

Hi there, I agree with the previous poster, [ who lives in Australia where beardies are from

] A range of 30 all the way up to [ at times ] 75 % ] is going to be fine.
