Humidity goes up when basking light is off?

[TheRealestBeardie]

Humidity has been an issue with my enclosure and whenever it gets to be night time, it gets up to 60-70 humidity but during the day it's around 30-40. What should I do?

The number and position of vents will affect humidity. How many vents does your viv have?

Perfectly normal - relative humidity is sortof a ratio between temp and moisture. The higher the temp the lower the realhumidity.

I open up one of the screens which helps for humidity and I have it open most the day. So it's around half the tank open.

That's what I thought, I am glad it is working out that way. Cause in that case everything is perfect.

If you measure the humidity on the cool side of the cage you'll find it's probably a little higher than the warm side... it's the same air and has the same amount of moisture in it.

Okay. Thank you!
