Humidity Problems

[kelii]

I discovered today that my dragon has a URI and tomorrow he's going to the vet. I have no idea how he got it. He's always been very healthy, except two days ago he started gasping and today he's wheezing with bubbles coming out of his nose I suspect it's the humidity. It's at 46%. Since summers come, I can't get it below that. I don't have a water dish or a lid on his tank. Any suggestions on what I can try? I was thinking of getting some of that Damp Rid stuff and sitting on a shelf near by.

damprid works, but it's very slow to reduce the humidity. I recommend a small dehumidifier

Does anyone know what's a good small, cheap one? I saw some that hang on walls in closets are those good enough? I have zero experience with them.

Something like this? Would I just sit it on the floor next to the cage? http://www.amazon.com/Eva-Dry-Eva-Dry-EDV1100-Mini-Dehumidifier/dp/B0069ABM7A/ref=sr_1_69?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1370827401&sr=1-69

He's in the living room, so I don't know if that would affect the kind I would need.

I would just look on craigslist. My roommate and I got a really nice one for about $50.
