Hi everyone, I am really struggling to keep the humidity in the tank down.. I have a bearded dragon we adopted 3-4 weeks ago and I’ve tried EVERYTHING. Fan to circulate air.. two portable dehumidifiers(I was reading a thread on here about them). During the day it sits at 45%-50% and at night I’ve seen it climb to 70%…. I’m at a loss of what to do now. Unfortunately, I live in a basement… any other tips you can give me? I don’t want my new baby getting sick :( he (I think it’s hard to tell) is about 3-4 months old. Other than that he seems pretty happy, he has good lighting, a great tank.. it’s just the darn humidity:( I was reading it should be 30-40%…

Optimal humidity is 40-50%-- 70% is too high- I recommend getting a dehumidifier for the basement itself- are you using a digital probe hygrometer or a analog one?

Those are really not that accurate, the digital with a probe are more reliable.

My situation is just the same. I have mine since she was 3 months old, now she`s 10 months old and never had a problem with that. Have you researched what they experience in the wild?

Thank you! I will get a new one. Now that the heat is on it’s less humid and more dry here so that has helped too. I will get a new thermometer with a probe :) to more accurately read

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
