Serious problems controlling humidity.

I've been told I shouldn't keep a water bowl in my viv because it will raise humidity. However the humidity in my viv goes down as low as 10%! Should I leave one in?

Then at night the opposite problem, without the heat on the humidity goes up to 55-60%. I turn the heat off because the tank stays at 70F without any heat source.

I keep coming back from work at 9pm to find him like this, Is he being affected by the low humidity or is he just tired? He's not in the normal alert position and his eyes are droopy. I normally have the light and heat on from 9:30am-9:30pm

He's also barely eating at all, I've had him only 3 days and have been told this is relocation stress and he will get his appetite back in a week or 2.

humidity is only needed when your beardie is shedding. You really don't need a water dish in there at all, it will just collect germs.

Bath your dragon a couple times a week. daily when he is shedding.

Also, when your dragon is shedding, you can get a plastic tub, cut out a side, and place damp towels in and around it and place this in the basking area, it will be like a humidity hut and help with the shed.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
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. 😔
