quick question!

Do you guys think that maybe some sand as a substrate will help reduce humidity in a tank? I have a 40 gallon for my beardie and it stays around 100 degrees in her basking spot, 85 ish in the cool area but the humidity is an issue cause it fluctuates between 38 to about 44 all the time I'm trying to keep it under 40.

That is not a concern humidity can go as high as 70 before you need to be concerned --- what would be a concern is sand because it causes impaction -- my tank stays between 35-50 % --- I live in a high humid state in the summer --- winter its very dry--if you need to buy a dehumidifier

I'd say the humidity is great, I wouldn't worry about it.

but just Don't use sand. Like at all in the least. It does more harm than good.

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
